Have sent the letter to Hon'ble Prime Minister shri Narendra Modi ji. Will upload tomorrow. This is the text of the letter "Subject: Urgent Appeal Regarding the India-Pakistan Cricket Match. Respected Prime Minister, Adarniya Shri Narendra Modi ji, Pranam. At the outset, I extend my warm congratulations on the success of your recent SCO visit, and on the victory of the NDA’s Vice Presidential candidate Shri C.P. Radhakrishnan ji in the elections. Sir, I am writing with great concern about the upcoming India-Pakistan cricket match scheduled for 14th September 2025. As you have rightly emphasized, Operation Sindoor is paused, not over. The Pahalgam attack, where Pakistan-trained terrorists brutally killed 26 innocent people, targeted purely for their faith, remains a painful reminder of the heavy cost borne by our people. Despite this, recent statements and threats from Pakistan’s leadership, including their Army Chief General Asim Munir and Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi (who also holds influential positions in the Pakistan Cricket Board and the Asian Cricket Council), have been utterly provocative. Their incendiary remarks, including nuclear threats and derogatory posts by Pakistani cricketers about Indian women and about Operation Sindoor itself, are direct assaults on our national dignity. In contrast, the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) seems completely aloof to this sentiment. Unfortunately, it has been reduced to a closed circle of privilege for political families across party lines, lacking sensitivity towards the trauma inflicted upon Indians by continuing such sporting engagements with Pakistan. Adarniya Pradhan Mantri ji, I humbly appeal for your urgent intervention to call off this match. If the match is allowed to go ahead, it would deeply wound national sentiment and risk projecting weakness in the face of those who sponsor terror against us. Sir, should this appeal remain unheeded, I wish to transparently place on record that we will launch the largest social media awareness movement in history, amplifying the nation’s opposition in a Gandhian, peaceful manner. Furthermore, I shall be compelled, with utmost respect and nonviolence, to undertake a fast outside your residence as a personal act of conscience. I place my faith in your leadership, deeply confident that you will give due weight to the emotions of millions of Indians who see such matches not as mere sports, but as a betrayal of the sacrifices of ourp martyrs. With prayers for your continued good health as your birthday approaches, and with utmost respect, Bharat Mata ki Jai! Respectfully, Tehseen Poonawalla On behalf of countless concerned Indians."
