Jewellers in Lucknow have decided to boycott Turkish jewellery items following Turkey's active support for Pakistan during recent hostilities with India.
The decision includes boycotting the purchase, sale, and display of Turkish-design jewellery and other items imported from Turkey.
Turkish jewellery sales, which were popular especially during Akshay Tritiya, have now been halted, with orders being cancelled and imports stopped completely.
The boycott extends beyond jewellery, with concerns over tourism, trade ties, and educational collaborations between India, Turkey, and Azerbaijan.
