Mumbai: The Eknath Shinde-led Shiv Sena has strongly condemned Turkey’s support for Pakistan on matters concerning India’s internal security, describing it as a direct affront to the dignity and self-respect of Indian citizens.
Shiv Sena leader Shaina NC criticized Turkey’s unilateral interference and politicization of issues related to India’s national security, calling it both irresponsible and deeply concerning.
“Turkey’s unwarranted support to Pakistan has sparked widespread resentment and dissatisfaction among the Indian public,” she stated.
Warning of the long-term diplomatic fallout, she said such actions could seriously strain the historically cordial relations between India and Turkey. “When India takes necessary steps to safeguard its borders and citizens, any third-party misrepresentation or interference undermines the very principles of international diplomacy and peace,” she said.
Referring to Operation Sindoor, she described it as a decisive move by the Indian government to counter cross-border terrorism and uphold national sovereignty. “The operation aimed to dismantle terror networks operating near India’s borders. In this context, Turkey’s endorsement of Pakistan is not only unjustified—it is completely unacceptable,” she asserted.
Shaina NC also questioned the objectivity and intent behind Turkey’s recent statements. “Such comments not only lack balance but also contradict the values of global peace and cooperation. They raise serious doubts about Turkey’s commitment to the global fight against terrorism,” she noted.
She urged the Turkish government to introspect and reassess its stance. “We hope Turkey realizes the importance of maintaining respectful and balanced bilateral ties with India,” she said.
