The West Asian country is facing a massive backlash in India after it was found that Pakistan, after Operation Sindoor, launched attacks on the Indian civilian and military areas using drones supplied by Turkish defence firms.
“Due to the current geopolitical situation involving Turkey, IIT Bombay is processing suspension of its agreements with Turkish universities until further notice,” the premier technological institute in India wrote on X.
The development comes days after Delhi’s Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU) and Jamia Millia Islamia also announced similar moves.
