Various experts and stakeholders have underlined the need to carry on the struggle of ex- British Gurkha veterans longing for equality, prestige and human rights in an intellectual and positive way.

The remarks were made at a seminar ”Satyagraha for equality, esteem and human rights of ex-British Gurkha’ organized by Ex-British Gurkha Satyagraha Struggle Committee in the capital.

The speakers have highlighted the need for government, civil society and ex-Gurkhas to put coordinated efforts for resolving the problem of ex-Gurklhas, who have been reeling under discrimination and suppression meted out by the British government since long.

Likewise, the experts also pledged to take ahead the insistence for truth for equality and honour of ex-Gurkhas in an intellectual way and continue the struggle for rights even by knocking the door of international court.

Dr Yubaraj Sangraula, former attorney general, said there is no alternative but to bring government, civil society and intellectual community to the struggle pitching for justice for Gurkhas who have been suppressed from different aspects, including financial benefits and recognition.

“The ex-Gurkha’s struggle was not only for equal pay and pension but also a fight for a sovereign and independent country as well as for equality”
