New Delhi, May 16
Delhi Chief Minister Rekha Gupta on Friday endorsed the rejection of apples and other products from Turkey and Azerbaijan, saying those supporting forces inimical to the interest of the country will have to face '100 per cent boycott' and the collective wrath of Indians.
Addressing the media during a visit to the Azadpur Mandi in north Delhi, CM Gupta said, "I compliment the traders for the boycott. If any nation works against Bharat’s interest in any form, then Indian citizens will boycott it."
"The decision reflects the traders' patriotism," she said.
Supporting the public outrage against countries supporting terror in India, she said, "There will be no 'vyapar, varta or sambandh' (trade, communication or relation with countries supporting terror."
The Chief Minister also welcomed the decision by Delhi-based Jawaharlal Nehru University and Jamia Millia Islamia to end their MoUs with Turkish educational institutions.
"There has to be a 100 per cent boycott of countries which are supporting terror in our country," she said.
