NCP regrets denial of visa to ASBA Secretary Tago

The NCP 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 the Manager of the Indian Badminton team for the Thaihot China Open 2016 in Fuzhou for ongoing China Super Series Premier badminton tournament.
The party in a statement here today 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 citizen who wished to visit the country," the statement said.

"India does not recognize stapled visa and therefore do not allow them to travel. In the past too, the embassy had issued stapled visas to many dignitaries, officers and sportspersons, including former Arunachal assembly speaker T L Rajkumar in 1983, senior IAS officers Ganesh Koyu, Tape Bagra and Tajom Taloh," the statement added.
