VTA urges boycott of travel to Turkey and Azerbaijan
Nagpur: The
Vidarbha Taxpayers Association
(VTA) has called for a boycott on travel to Turkey and Azerbaijan due to the countries' support for Pakistan. The statement comes in the light of Operation Sindoor.
VTA president Shrawan Malu said, "As taxpayers, we have a responsibility to ensure that our actions do not inadvertently support or bolster nations that harm our country's security.
"
Turkey and Azerbaijan's actions may pose a challenge to India's interests, and choosing to travel there and contribute to their economy could be used to further this agenda, he said. VTA appealed for a reconsideration of travel plans until a more favourable diplomatic situation is reached. It would be a powerful and patriotic move, says VTA.
The secretary of VTA, Tejinder Renu, stated that standing firm in this action would ensure commitment to the country's well-being. "A unified approach will not only strengthen our nation's stance on the global stage but also send a clear message to Turkey, Azerbaijan, and other nations about the importance of respecting India's sovereignty," he said.
