PSL BANNED in India! FanCode drops live streaming after Pahalgam terror attack

Following the horrific terror attack in South Kashmir’s Pahalgam that killed 26, Fancode, an Indian sports streaming platform, has suspended the live streaming of the Pakistan Super League (PSL) 2025 immediately. The decision parallels the growing public anger and diplomatic tensions between India and Pakistan following the attack. Fancode became one of the first private organizations in India to stop coverage of the PSL, which would apply to the national sentiment of zero tolerance towards terrorism.

The gruesome attack took place at Baisaran meadow near Pahalgam, and the armed attack against tourists is being noted as one of the deadliest attacks since the 2019 Pulwama attack, which, if you can recall, killed 40 CRPF and shook the country. The new tragedy has reignited many memories of Pulwama, and calls for counter-terrorism actions are growing, and faster, visibly, actions from both the government and private sectors are now critical.

At a recent public rally in Bihar, Prime Minister Narendra Modi spoke passionately and forcefully to the country, denouncing the attack and promising that action would be taken. Modi's comments were met with widespread support across the nation, which reaffirmed the government's very strong position against terrorism. The Prime Minister suggested that strong diplomatic, military, and regulatory actions would be taken in the future. Fancode’s suspension of PSL broadcasts of the PSL demonstrates and is a huge step in how India’s private sector is now aligning with the government's tough stance against cross-border terrorism.

Danish Kaneria blames PM Shehbaz Sharif after Pahalgam attack

Danish Kaneria, a former leg-spinner for Pakistan and one of the few Hindu players to represent the country, publicly criticized the Pakistani government for not denouncing the Pahalgam terror attack that killed 26 people. In a social media post through X, Kaneria noted that Pakistan was a place for terrorism and questioned PM Shehbaz Sharif's silence, sparking significant conversations locally and internationally.

Kaneria also rebuked the military and political class of the state, claiming the high alert after the attack may mean they already knew or should have known. Kaneria went on to mention that his rebuke isn't aimed at the Pakistani people, but at the leaders who he claims have it easy while the people live with the threat of terrorism, and claim to be victims of terrorism too, and are further victimized by their leaders in action or indirect actions in allowing such events to take place.
