Around 40 CRPF personnel were martyred on February 14 in a deadly terror attack by Pakistan based Jaish-e-Mohammad in Jammu and Kashmir's Pulwama. The whole country is condemning the attack and boycotting Pakistan. 

BCCI recently sent a strong message by removing all the memorabilia and pictures related to Pakistan cricket from their Mumbai headquarter. 

The four-storeyed headquarters is filled with pictures of iconic moments in cricket. There were autographed bats of Pakistani teams in the first floor of the building which has been removed now. Javed Miandad's famous picture from World Cup 1992 where he mocked Kiran More was also taken down. 

Earlier, Mumbai's Cricket Club of India (CCI) took the step and covered Imran Khan's image at it's 'Porbandar all-rounders' restaurant. 

Even Himachal Pradesh Cricket Association, Punjab Cricket Association, Karnataka Cricket Association, and Rajasthan Cricket Association have pulled down Pakistan cricket related material from their stadium galleries in Dharamshala, Mohali, Bangaluru and Jaipur respectively.
