New Delhi, August 29 2010:
New Delhi "restricted" a Chinese diplomat from visiting Manipur weeks before the current visa row, upsetting some academics in the troubled state.
In July, Amar Yumnam, dean of social sciences, Manipur University, had invited Kolkata-based Chinese consul general Mao Siwei to deliver a lecture on " China and India: Related yet different civilizations".
Mao "formally informed" R Siva Kumar, director of the MEA's Kolkata branch, that he planned to go on August 9, sources said.
He reportedly declared plans to "see a few tourist destinations" and that his wife would go along.
He was reportedly told he did not need a protected area permit.
