Two young women archers, Mihu Maselo and Yumi Sorang, the only two from Arunachal Pradesh in the 24-member archery squad, were stopped from boarding China Southern Airlines flight to Guangzhou for the Youth World Archery Championship at Wuxi. Mihu Maselo and Yumi Sorang from Arunachal Pradesh, who were issued stapled Chinese visas, were prevented at the IGI Airport from leaving for the upcoming Youth World Archery Championship.
BJP reacted sharply to the Chinese Embassy issuing stapled visas to two Arunachal Pradesh archers, suggesting that why the border state is still a 'disputed region', and said it is high time the Government of India realise Beijing's intentions and act accordingly.
BJP vice president Balbir Punj said both China and Pakistan are taking full advantage of the situation in India because it knows pretty well that New Delhi has a non-existent government . He accused that this government is not capable of taking any initiative whatsoever and we have to suffer this humiliation at the hands of China and Pakistan'.
Prime Minister Dr. Manmohan Singh has said that India and China have steadily built a mature and mutually productive relationship and said, "India and China are two civilisations and neighbours. Economic cooperation constitutes a very important part of our relationship and the growth potential of our two economies can provide the engine for greater cooperation and can also contribute to prosperity in Asia and beyond," .
INDIA HONEST argues, what is the justification of India's present leadership reluctance in raising even the serious matters of national security and sovereignty in international forum, specially with hostile neighbours ? It seems this UPA 2 government is so depressed with backlashes on internal corruption and scams, that it is failing to fight out for the national interest matters.
