KATHMANDU: Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli is on an official visit to
Europe. He visited Britain on Tuesday. His British counterpart Theresa
May welcomed Oli at 10 Downing Street. There was a
discrimination between British soldiers and Gorkha soldiers in terms
of pension and salary especially those who retired before 1997.
The Gurkha Army Ex- Servicemen’s Organization
(GAESO) has been demanding equal and pay and pension since long. Supreme
Court of the United Kingdom has already issued an order to treat the
British Gurkha soldiers on par the native soldiers but the the
government has not implemented it yet.
Even though talks were held on the issue of long overdue British
Gurkha pension during Oli’s Britain visit, it did not yield any concrete
decision, a report in Naya Patrika said.
