India is not a serious country’: New Delhi under fire for ‘rewarding’ known Pakistan-backer Turkey

The backlash against Turkey intensified after a report revealed that Turkish Airlines is reaping major benefits from its codeshare partnership

New delhi, May 4,
India’s continued commercial and diplomatic engagement with Turkey has drawn sharp criticism from national security experts and policy commentators, especially in light of Ankara’s deepening defence ties with Pakistan and repeated endorsement of Islamabad’s position on Kashmir.

The backlash intensified after a report revealed that Turkish Airlines is reaping major benefits from its codeshare partnership with IndiGo, India’s largest airline. The two carriers operate joint flights to more than 30 European and US destinations under ab long-standing agreement, with Turkish Airlines gaining disproportionate advantage, according to an Economic Times report.
