Traders across the country have planned to end trade with Turkey and Azerbaijan, which support Pakistan. A decision on this can be taken in the meeting called by the Confederation of All India Traders (CAT) of prominent trade leaders of various states on Friday. Ending trade relations with Turkey and Azerbaijan will cause losses of billions of dollars to both countries.
CAT National General Secretary Praveen Khandelwal said, There is no question of doing business with any country that is against India. This is the right time for the traders of the country to show their patriotism. Moving forward in this direction, this meeting has been called, in which a decision will be taken to end trade relations with Turkey and Azerbaijan. Also, Tiranga Yatra will be taken out across the country to express gratitude towards the valor and valor of the Indian Army.
Khandelwal said, CAT has been running a nationwide campaign for the boycott of Chinese products for a long time, which has seen a lot of effect. A similar campaign will now be run against the products of Turkey and Azerbaijan. He said, Turkey and Azerbaijan will suffer losses worth billions of dollars due to the trade boycott, and both countries will have to pay the price for standing against India.
