Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis yesterday praised Pune’s apple merchants for boycotting the import of Turkier apples and dried fruits. The deal is worth at least Rs 10,000 crore.
During Operation Sindoor, Turkiye supported Pakistan, which disappointed Indian citizens. Many people canceled their trip to Turkiye, while traders from the Pune Agricultural Products Market Committee (APMC) decided to stop importing.
Mr. Fadnavis also congratulated the merchants and expressed appreciation for their “national first” position. “First of all, I sincerely congratulate businesses that adopt the ‘National First’ position, because this is not only an attack on the Indians, but also an attack on Pulvama is an attack on humanity itself. Refusing to support those merchants who help human enemies deserve praise.”
Mr. Fadnavis also assured them that India has the ability to infiltrate Pakistan and destroy it. “Now, even if there is the truth about satellite images in The New York Times – they can’t even touch the nails around us, but we completely destroy the targets around them,” Mr. Fadnavis said. He said it was important to teach courses to countries that support Pakistan.
