AICWA said it will not engage with Pakistani nationals in any sports or cultural events. The association warned that filmmakers or producers casting Pakistani talent risk a total ban from AICWA. No Pakistani actor, singer, or performer will receive approval to work in India.

The association recalled Punjabi superstar Diljit Dosanjh’s film Sardaar Ji 3, claiming he collaborated with Pakistani artistes and remains banned until he publicly apologizes. AICWA also mentioned its earlier ban on Abir Gulaal, stressing that normalizing talent from countries supporting terrorism insults India’s armed forces.

Targeting the BCCI, AICWA accused the board of prioritizing money over national interest. The association criticized the ICC for allowing the match. It added that India belongs to its soldiers, not cricket boards, especially after the Pak-sponsored terrorist attack in Pahalgam that killed 26 people.

Aishanya Dwivedi, widow of a soldier killed in the Pahalgam terror attack, voiced her strong opposition to the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI)’s decision. She said playing cricket with Pakistan dishonors the sacrifices of those who lost their lives in terror incidents. Dwivedi stated that the board should have refused participation in the match.

Her remarks quickly gained traction on social media, where thousands of users echoed her sentiments. Netizens criticized BCCI for prioritizing cricketing ties over national sentiment, calling the move insensitive. Many demanded that India boycott all matches with Pakistan until terrorism is addressed.

The BCCI, however, has not responded officially to these concerns. With the match just days away, political leaders, sports analysts, and citizens continue to debate whether cricket should be kept separate from politics or serve as a stand against terrorism.
