Retired Senior Army Officer Appeals For Boycott Of BCCI Team Matches

Lt General KJS Dhillon: A retired senior army officer who served in Kashmir has appealed to fellow countrymen that they should not watch the BCCI team matches in deference to those innocent Indians killed in “cold blood” in Kashmir’s Baisaran meadow.

Lt General KJS Dhillon (retired), who served as the GoC of the Army’s Srinagar headquartered Chinar Corps, wrote on X, “If you are watching @BCCI team’s matches . . . . . . Please spare a thought for those innocents Indians murdered in cold blood at Pahalgam and those soldiers who laid down their lives fighting the paki terrorists for you to live in peace watch these matches at your homes Just a thought please. I am boycotting the Asia Cup. Are you? Jai Hind.”

On April 22, Pakistan-backed Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) terrorists killed 26 innocent civilians in the Baisaran meadow of Pahalgam. The slain civilians include 25 tourists and a local Ponywallah.

The Pahalgam terror attack outraged the entire country. Prime Minister Narendra Modi gave a free hand to the armed forces to avenge the Pahalgam terror attack.

Indian armed forces carried out target-specific strikes against terror Infrastructure in Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK), in Muridke near Lahore and Bahawalpur.

12 terror infrastructures were destroyed in these strikes carried out as part of ‘Operation Sindoor’.
