Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU) has suspended its Memorandum of Understanding with Turkey’s Inönü University over national security concerns. The MoU, signed in February 2025 and valid until 2028, was paused following intelligence linking Turkey’s involvement in aiding Pakistan amid recent India-Pakistan tensions. JNU announced the decision via X, stating it “stands with the nation.” The academic collaboration facilitated faculty and student exchange, but rising concerns over Ankara’s proximity to Islamabad prompted the move. The university assured affected students that alternative arrangements will be made. The action aligns with growing public sentiment supporting the ‘Boycott Turkey’ campaign. (PC: India Today)
