Ex-Gurkha servicemen submit memo to UK PM

Kathmandu, 6 May:  British Gurkha Satyagraha has submitted a memorandum to Prime Minister of the United Kingdom Boris Johnson  reminding the UK government to address their demands.

The ex-servicemen have asked for the formation of a talk committee between the Government of Nepal and UK, fixing a venue for a dialogue and initiating talks to address their demands they have been putting forth for long including parity in the pension and other perks and facilities with their British counterparts.

They have warned of launching a hunger strike from July 1 if their demands are not met. It has been three years since a joint technical report involving representatives from the Government of the UK and Nepal and Gurkha organisations.
