In a significant development, the Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU) has announced the suspension of its Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Inonu University in Turkey, citing national security considerations. The decision comes as part of the university’s adherence to the government’s stance on national security and geopolitical sensitivities.
“Due to National Security considerations, the MoU between JNU and Inonu University, Türkiye stands suspended until further notice. JNU stands with the Nation,” the University said in a post on X.The cancellation of the MoU comes amid calls from several quarters of Indian society and industry bodies to sever diplomatic, trade and people-to-people ties with Turkey and Azerbaijan for their support to Pakistan via arms.
Turkish UAVs have been used by Pakistani forces, who intervened on behalf of terrorists, after India took out nine of their hideouts in Operation Sindoor earlier this month and brought the two neighbours on the brink of an all-out war, with Islamabad engaging in constant nuclear sabre-rattling.
