Indian opposition politicians visit Taiwan
The Telegraph, Calcutta, reports that three high-profile members of the Indian opposition party BJP, including Khiren Rijiju, the MP from Arunachal Pradesh, met with Prime Minister Frank Hsieh during a visit to Taiwan. The visit had the expressed goal of protesting against the perceived lack of firmness on the Arunachal Pradesh issue on the side of the Indian government. The PRC has repeatedly portrayed the border state Arunachal Pradesh as a part of its territory.
