India should ask China to stay away from Arunachal border: Takam Sanjoy

New Delhi, May 18 (ANI): Arunachal Pradesh Member of Parliament Takam Sanjoy on Saturday urged the Indian Government to be assertive in asking China to stay away from his state.
“We are optimistic that the Indian Government will be very assertive on various issues affecting the two nations. All that we would ask from the Indian Government is that talks are held on the border issue. India should be assertive in placing their points,” Sanjoy said.
“The recent incursion by China hasn’t been of good design, although with the intervention of the Prime Minister himself with the dialogue process, all we want our PM to clarify, is that no portion of Arunachal Pradesh belongs to China, and they should keep away from India,” Sanjoy added.
On an emotional note, he further said: “We are Indians, and no force in the world can separate us, may be the roots are different, but still we are a part of this country,” he said.
Commenting on the issue of stapled visas, Sanjoy said: “In connection with the stapled visa, the Government of India should be very clear, and should continue having dialogues with China. Hence, whichever visa is used for other states in the country, the same visas should be used for Arunachal Pradesh, as we are a part of India. No need for India to accept stapled visas.”
Sanjoy’s comments came on the eve of Chinese Premier Li’s visit to India from Sunday. This is Premier Li’s first foreign trip since assuming office. He would also visit Pakistan, Germany and Switzerland during the week-long foray.
His statement was also a rejoinder to the Bharatiya Janata Party’s demand that the government should insist that Beijing recognise the stapled visa as a valid diplomatic document.
BJP Member of Parliament Kirran Rijju had earlier in the day said: “This visit has a historical significance. We have a great opportunity as well. I have written to our Prime Minister that he should take up two issues with the Chinese premier. First, they should accept the stapled visa that would be issued by the Chinese to the people of Arunachal Pradesh. First, China claimed Arunachal as their part and so there was no need for the people of Arunachal to go to China. Now, that they have agreed to give stapled visas, then, in a way, they are accepting that Arunachal is a part of India. There might be differences over the issue, but they are acknowledging it and issuing the visas. So, I feel that China has softened its stand.”
Senior BJP leader Yashwant Sinha said India and China can cooperate globally on many issues. We should talk to the Chinese Prime Minister from a position of strength and not from a position of weakness. We are a great nation. China recognises that we are a great nation. And we should keep that in mind.”
China and India, despite both being founding members of the BRICS group of developing nations and having increasingly close economic relations, have long looked with suspicion at each other following a brief border war in 1962, which China won.
Both countries were involved in a renewed border standoff on the icy Himalayan mountains which calmed down this month after India agreed to a Chinese demand to demolish a remote army position, a topic discussed when India’s foreign minister visited China last week.

AIZAWL, May 18 NNN : Tuberculosis (TB) still a threat to Mizoram.
During January-March, 2013, as many as 497 people in Mizoram were detected with TB infection, out of which in the case of 164 persons, the TB germ is detected in the phlegm, and 88% of these 164 patients are now healed after treatment. Besides these, 6 other people were newly detected with MDR- TB infection.
This figure was shown in the performance report and presentation on Multi Drug Resistant (MDR-TB) during 3 months given through power point presentation by Dr. Harvey Vanlalpeka, Asst. Programe Officer and Dr.Lalhriatpuia, MO, State TB Cell at the Ist Quarter (January – March, 2013) Review Meeting on detection and treatment of Tuberculosis (TB) patients, held at Health Directorate Conference Hall on Friday.
At the review meeting which was presided over by Dr.Vanlalhruaii, State TB Officer Dr.K.Ropari, Directorate of Health Services said that the Revised National TB Control Programme (RNTCP) has been started in Mizoram from 2003, and since then review meeting is held regularly after every 3 months.
Dr.K.Ropari said it is necessary that the TB patients take the prescribed medicines properly because there is a great chance that others contracted the disease because of negligence for TB treatment by the infected people. She also said that TB and HIV can be infected simultaneously. “It is advisable that if a person suffers from coughing for two weeks or more, he or she may go for treatment early, and get the phlegm examined”, Dr.K.Ropari advised.
The review meeting was attended by the Chief Medical Officer, the District TB Officer, the Senior Treatment Supervisor, the DOT Plus Supervisor, the Senior TB Laboratory Supervisor from each district, besides from NGOs- representatives of Zoram Entu Pawl (ZEP) and Christian Medical Association of India (CMAI).
