Why is #RemoveATK Trending? Know Why Fans Are Upset With ATK Mohun Bagan
The outrage in the #RemoveATK campaign was also seen during India's AFC Asian Cup qualification game against Afghanistan when a group of Mohun Bagan supporters were seen holding a tifo, which read, "Remove ATK and give us our Mohun Bagan back."
The #RemoveATK social media campaign continued to rage on social media by Mohun Bagan fans. Ardent loyalists of the Kolkata club have time and again urged the club to drop the prefix ATK and keep the name Mohun Bagan intact, citing the historical significance and heritage of the club. Fans have claimed that after ATK's merger with Mohun Bagan in 2020, the former's name should not be included with the club ceasing to exist. A protest had led to them removing the three stars (signifying three ISL championships) from ATKMB's jersey in 2020. The outrage even continued to show up on social media after Florentin Pogba's arrival was announced by the club with fans angry over the fact that ATK was getting advertised and popular when it should have been Mohun Bagan.
