Currently, different sports associations/federations across the country are busy selecting the Indian team for their respective sports for the Asian Games to be held in Hangzhou, China.

And the Indian Olympic Association is busy sending their entries to the Organizing Committee of the Asian Games.

The Sports Ministry is also involved in the preparations of the Indian contingent in these games in one way or the other.  Sardar Bhupinder Singh Bajwa, Chief of Mission of the Indian contingent at the Asian Games, President of the Indian Wushu Federation and Executive Member of the IOA, may also be busy in various works related to the Games.

Meanwhile, in many sports, players from India's northeastern state of Arunachal Pradesh have also been selected for the Hangzhou Asian Games, which includes players of many sports like karate, wushu etc.  Even after the selection of these players in their sports in the Indian team, there is doubt on their participation in the Asian Games.

Because China consider Arunachal Pradesh as its land. China has occupied Tibet and China believes that Arunachal Pradesh and Ladakh were part of Tibet, therefore it is its land.  So China says that why would it give visa to its own citizens to visit their own country.  In such a situation, China gives stapled VISA or Natthi VISA to the people of Arunachal Pradesh, from which they can go to and come from China, but in return the stapled VISA is detached and no official details of the journey would be mentioned on the passenger's passport.  On the other hand, there is a ban on Staple Visa by the Indian Government from going anywhere outside the country.

According to a report in Business Standard, Indian players and officials from Badminton, Karate and few other Sports at different times in the past also denied to issue VISA by china.

The result of no concrete talks between the Government of India and China will be seen in the coming times whether China gives accreditation to these players or not.
