People will boycott countries that are against India: Delhi CM

"If any country gets involved in any way against India, the people of India will boycott it in every way," she told reporters.

"India is united against the supporters of terrorism," she added.

Earlier in the day, Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) MP Praveen Khandelwal said that the traders from across the country will take a final call on ending business relations with Turkey and Azerbaijan for extending support to Pakistan during its recent conflict with India following Operation Sindoor, initiated by the Indian army in response to the ghastly Pahalgam terror attack.

He said that trade leaders were gathering in Delhi, coming from 24 states, to raise their voice against both nations, Turkey and Azerbaijan, for extending support to Pakistan. Khandelwal added that traders in the country have resolved to end business relations with any country that takes a stand against India.

"The traders (or trade leaders) from 24 states in the country have come to Delhi for a meeting. They are here to raise their voice against Turkey and Azerbaijan for supporting Pakistan. They will take a final decision on ending business (trade) relations with Turkey and Azerbaijan. All traders in India are with Prime Minister Narendra Modi, and any country that will stand against India, the traders will not support that and will refrain from doing business with that nation," Khandelwal told ANI.

In the aftermath of the recent conflict, India has taken a firm stand against terrorism sponsored by the neighbouring country, with its traders and other businesses calling for the boycott of Turkey and Azerbaijan for supporting Pakistan.

Himachal Pradesh Leader of Opposition (LoP) Jairam Thakur has supported the demand of Apple growers in the state for the ban on the import of apples from Turkey and stated that actions taken against Pakistan should also be taken for Turkey.

On May 15, young apple growers in Himachal Pradesh demanded an immediate ban on the import of apples from Turkey, Iran, Iraq and China. They called on the central government to impose a complete ban or at least raise import duties above 100% on apples from about 44 foreign countries, particularly Turkey.

The fruit merchants in Madhya Pradesh's Gwalior have expressed strong protest against apples imported from Turkey.

Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU) Vice-Chancellor (VC) Santishree Dhulipudi Pandit on Thursday said that the central university has suspended a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Turkiye's Inonu University, given the concerns over national security, adding that the administration decided not to have relations with a country that "supports terror and stabs India in the back".
