ITANAGAR, Nov 19 - NCP Arunachal State unit has expressed regret over the Chinese Embassy at New Delhi denying visa to Arunachal State Badminton Association (ASBA) secretary Bamang Tago.
Tago was nominated as Manager of Indian Badminton team for Thaihot China Open 2016 in Fuzhou for ongoing China Super Series Premier badminton tournament.
The party in a statement here on Friday expressed disappointment on the denial of visa to Tago. �This is not for the first time that an Arunachalee sportsperson has been denied visa by China. Earlier on several occasions Chinese issued stapled visa to Arunachalee citizens who wished to visit the country,� the statement said.
�India does not recognise stapled visa and therefore do not allow them to travel. In the past too, the Embassy had issued stapled visas to many persons�, the statement added. � PTI
