The Confederation of All India Traders (CAIT) on Friday declared a nationwide boycott of all trade and commercial relations with Turkey and Azerbaijan, citing their recent expressions of support for Pakistan following India’s Operation Sindoor.As part of the move, CAIT stated that traders across the country will cease imports from the two countries and that Indian exporters, importers, and business delegations will be discouraged from engaging with any companies or institutions based in Turkey or Azerbaijan, as reported PTI.The decision was taken during a National Conference of Trade Leaders convened by CAIT in New Delhi, with participation from trade representatives across 24 states.In addition, CAIT announced that the Indian business community will boycott Indian films shot in Turkey and Azerbaijan and warned corporate entities against conducting product promotions or ad shoots in either nation.The traders’ body said a memorandum will be submitted to the Ministry of Commerce and Industry and the Ministry of External Affairs, urging a policy-level review of all commercial ties with both countries.“The resolution comes in response to the recent stand taken by Turkey and Azerbaijan in open support of Pakistan, at a time when India is facing a sensitive and critical national security situation.The collective Indian trading community views this as a betrayal, particularly considering the humanitarian and diplomatic support extended to both countries in the past by India and especially by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, during their respective crises,” CAIT said in a statement.
