After call for boycott of Turkiye apples, Pune trader claims he received threat from Pakistan
PUNE: (May 15) Days after a group of fruit traders in Pune decided to stop importing apples from Turkiye to protest against that country's open support to Pakistan, a trader on Thursday claimed to have received a threatening voice message from Pakistan.
Suyog Zende, a trader at the Agriculture Produce Market Committee, commonly known as Marketyard, and some others had said they will not deal in apples from Turkiye after that country criticised India's recent strikes on terror infrastructure in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied-Kashmir.
"Around 9 this morning, I started getting calls on my phone but did not pick up the phone. Later I received a voice note message. The message contained slurs for India and said we can not do any harm to Pakistan or Turkiye. I sent a voice note responding to the threats," he told reporters.
