In April this year, 26 civilians died in a deadly terror strike in Pahalgam, Jammu and Kashmir, which further deteriorated diplomatic relations between India and Pakistan.

Critics have been questioning both the BCCI and the government’s silence on the matter. Many have urged the sports ministry to step in, but it currently lacks jurisdiction over the BCCI due to the pending National Sports Governance Bill.
"As of now, the BCCI does not come under the purview of the sports ministry as the National Sports Governance Bill is still to be passed. So, the ministry doesn't have a say, but we will wait and see how the BCCI responds to public sentiment," a sports ministry source told PTI.
