Boycott means avoiding. We don't want to avoid: Fans on Ind-Pak match

Cricket fans in Kolkata performed a yajna, expressing their desire for India to defeat Pakistan in the Asia Cup match on Sunday. This came against the backdrop of the Pahalgam attack and Operation Sindoor. One individual stated, 'We want to hit them each and every area, be it a border area, be it a playground.'

Another person argued against boycotting the match, saying a walkover would be a 'free hand to Pakistan'. Children present at the gathering, holding pictures of Indian cricketers, also expressed their wish for an Indian victory, with one child calling Pakistan a 'very bad enemy of India'.
