This league started the India Out campaign. It is an attempt to give birth to run a campaign, similar to the India-free campaign of Maldives.The victory of the ‘Boycott India–Bangladesh’ campaign was blamed on the current prime minister, Sheikh Hasina, of Bangladesh.

Result of the boycott India campaign
On Monday the government authorized the export of 50,000 tonnes of the essential kitchen component onion, to Bangladesh during the upcoming Ramzan and Eid.The social media accounts that have been rallying for “boycott India” may experience difficulty advocating their agenda.Onion is an important component, notably in dish preparations that correspond to the time of fasting and feasting. It is the end of the month of Ramadan and ends with a proper Eid celebration of breaking the fasting period.However, the ban on onion exports was specific. It was an exclusion for two friendly countries but for Bangladesh and the UAE.In December of 2023, India halted onion export. This led to the astronomical uptick of onion in Bangladesh as well as other countries.The interview of employees of numerous stores in Dhaka and Chittagong confirms an apparent slump in the sales of Indian products like cooking oil, processed foods, toiletries, cosmetics, and clothes.
