'No more Turkey companies in Maharashtra,' vows Shiv Sena as it storms Mumbai Airport over Turkish firm handling ground services

Shiv Sena leaders on Monday visited Mumbai Airport and demanded that the authorities cancel the contract of a Turkish company currently handling ground services.

The party is upset over Turkey’s open support to Pakistan amid rising tensions between India and Pakistan.

Shiv Sena leader Murji Patel told reporters that they are angry because Turkey is making money through contracts in India while backing Pakistan at the same time.


“Turkey is helping Pakistan. How can we allow their companies to earn here?” Murji Patel said.

He added that the party had already met the Commissioner of Police and informed him about the issue.

Murji Patel also said that Shiv Sena will make sure no Turkish company is given any contract in Maharashtra.

“We will not allow any Turkish firm to work here,” he said.

The protest comes as tensions continue between India and Pakistan. According to Shiv Sena, Turkey’s recent statements in support of Pakistan have angered many in India.
