Despite growing calls for a boycott by Indians, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan on Wednesday reaffirmed his country's unwavering support for Pakistan following India's Operation Sindoor. In response to Pakistani PM Shehbaz Sharif’s message of gratitude on X, Erdogan described Pakistan as a “brotherly nation” and pledged continued support “through both good times and bad.” Turkey’s backing of Pakistan, including the reported supply of Turkish-made drones used during the conflict, has drawn sharp criticism in India. The remarks have intensified diplomatic unease, with Indian citizens and leaders calling for a boycott of Turkish goods and tourism in protest. (PC: News18)
