WMC Conference in Azerbaijan Sparks Controversy
The World Malayalee Council (WMC), a group for people from Kerala, is planning a big meeting in Azerbaijan.
But, some people are mad because Azerbaijan supported Pakistan, a country India has problems with.
The WMC's event looks like a vacation package, with hotel stays and tours.
People online are calling for a boycott because they think the WMC is helping Azerbaijan when many Indians don't like the country.
Azerbaijan supported Pakistan after a terror attack in India and is seen as being against India.
The WMC has a lot of influence, but some people are accusing the group of betraying the motherland.
It follows a similar event where a group invited a Pakistani cricket player.
The World Malayalee Council (WMC) is holding its 2025 Global Conference in Baku, Azerbaijan.
The decision has sparked criticism due to Azerbaijan's support for Pakistan.
The conference promotion resembles a tourism package.
Azerbaijan supported Pakistan following a terror attack and during Operation Sindoor.
Critics accuse WMC of promoting tourism to Azerbaijan.
