Jamia Millia Islamia (JMI) has announced with immediate effect the suspension of any Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with any institutions affiliated with the Government of the Republic of Türkiye.

This move comes amid the growing tensions between India-Pakistan after Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan expressed his strong support for Pakistan.

In a post on X, Jamia Millia Islamia said, "Due to national security considerations, any Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) between Jamia Millia Islamia, New Delhi, and any institution affiliated with the Government of the Republic of Türkiye stands suspended with immediate effect, until further orders. Jamia Millia Islamia stands firmly with the Nation."

Similarly, on Wednesday the Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU) suspended an agreement with Turkey's Inonu University citing “national security considerations”. The move comes amid rising India-Pakistan tensions and frustration over Turkey’s backing of Pakistan.

Taking to X, the university informed that the cancellation would remain in effect until further notice.
India's trade relation with Turkiye is expected to come under strain due to Ankara backing Islamabad and condemning India's recent strikes on terror camps in Pakistan.

Following their support to Pakistan, calls for boycotting Turkish goods and tourism have surfaced across the country, with online travel platforms such as EaseMyTrip and Ixigo issuing advisories against visiting such nations.
