China did not give visa to three players of Arunachal, India strongly protested

New Delhi: China has denied visas to three players from Arunachal Pradesh who are going to participate in the Asian Games. These three women players were part of the Indian Wushu team.

Hangzhou, China. By doing this they have been discriminated against.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs protested China’s actions
He further said, ‘In line with our long-standing and consistent position, India strongly rejects discrimination against Indian citizens on grounds of residence or caste. Arunachal Pradesh was, is and will remain an integral and integral part of India. A case has been filed in New Delhi and Beijing against China’s deliberate and selective obstruction of some of our players. “China’s actions violate both the spirit of the Asian Games and the rules governing their conduct, which expressly prohibit discrimination against competitors from member nations.”

All three players could not download the travel document
Let us tell you that these three athletes received recognition cards from the Hangzhou Asian Games Organizing Committee (HAGOC), which also act as visas, to participate in these games. After that, these three players had to download their travel documents. On Wednesday night, the Indian Wushu team was scheduled to arrive in Hangzhou from New Delhi via Hong Kong. But when the team reached Delhi airport, the three players could not download the documents and had to stay in Delhi.

Again China has given staple visa to these three players
We are informed that Wangsu, Tega and Lamgu were granted ‘stapled visas’ to participate in the World University Games in Chengdu in July, after which the 12-member unit was supposed to travel to China for the event which was cancelled. A source said, “He has not received approval to enter China. We, at the federation, could not download their accreditation cards for the Games, while the rest of the team could download their accreditation cards without any problem.’

A Hindustan Times report quoted an official as saying that once a player receives the recognition card, it means the player has been cleared to travel to the Asian Games. In early July, Naiman Wangsu, Oneil Tega and Maypur Lamgu were going to participate in the University Games in China. But the Chinese authorities have issued a stapled visa. The Chinese government has been issuing major visas to citizens residing in Arunachal Pradesh, India since 2009.
