Retired British Gurkhas have
requested the British Government to make efforts in easing the border
blockade being imposed by India over Nepal. British-Gurkha Army
Ex-Servicemen’s Organization BGAESO has appealed to the British Prime
Minister David Cameron to press for an end to the blockade that India has
been imposing against Nepal. In a letter written to Cameron, the Organization
notes that the Indian blockade is against international laws. The
organization adds that the demand for a separate Madhesh Province is an
Indian strategy to retain Indian domination in Nepal and grab Nepal’s water
resources. It said the demand may create a situation not different from
Sikkimisation, Fijiisation and the recent happening in Crimea. The memorandum
submitted to Cameroon notes that India has been letting protesters use the
no-man’s-land and its territories bordering Nepal to pelt stones and hurl
petrol bombs targeting public and private properties in Nepali territory. It
further pointed that Indian government’s claims that Nepali territories
adjoining the border are unsafe for movement of people and transportation are
untrue, pointing that there are obstructions only on a few customs points
along the 1,800-km-long border. Meanwhile, according to the latest updates,
Narendra Modi was greeted by noisy protests outside Downing Street as he
arrived for talks with David Cameron. Several hundred Nepali protesters among
other groups chanted slogans against Modi as the Indian prime minister was welcomed
on Thursday.
