KATHMANDU: Ex-British Gurkhas have threatened to disrupt the recruitment of Nepalis in the British Army if their demands are not met by March 19, reported Republica daily.

They turned down ‘an offer’ from the British government for a marginal hike in their perks and benefits, said a senior official representing the ex-British Gurkhas on Wednesday, adding, “The offer still discriminates against Nepali servicemen who have long been struggling to gain equal status in the British Army.”

The warning from the ex-Gurkhas’ organizations comes just ahead of the British Minister of State for the Armed Forces Mark Lancaster’s four-day Nepal visit.

In last November, the British government has offered to increase perks and benefits of the Gurkha pensioners by 10 to 34 percent depending on the positions they held in the British Army.
