Gurkha redundancies 'are military vandalism'

Peter Carroll, founder of The Gurkha Justice Campaign, lambasts the Government's decision to cut around 400 Gurkha posts.

3:23PM GMT 17 Jan 2012

The Armed Forces will lose 4,200 personnel in the biggest round of job losses in a decade.

One in eight Gurkhas will lose their job under the plans. More than 400 Gurkhas, equivalent to almost an entire battalion, will made redundant.

Peter Carroll, founder of The Gurkha Justice Campaign, described the redundancies as "devastating".

"It is going to be a blow for the Gurkhas themselves and the communities that they live in.

"I think that this is wrong for the individual Gurkhas, wrong for the Gurkha brigade, wrong for the Army and wrong for the country."

    रक्षा बजेट घटाउने नाममा गोर्खालीहरूको गाैरवमय र्इतिहासलार्इ धक्का पुग्ने गरी गरिएको बेलायत सरकारको यो निर्णय खेदजनक छ । यो कदमबाट बेलायत सरकार गोर्खालीहरूलार्इ चाहिँदाको भाँडो, नचाहिँदाको ठाँडो मात्र बनाउन चाहन्छन् भन्ने पुष्टी भएको छ । अब बेलायतमा पिटर क्यारोल जस्ता असल र दुरदर्शी नेताहरूको नेतृत्व अाउनु जरूरी छ । त्यसबाट मात्र समग्र बेलायत र गोर्खालीहरूको परिस्थितिमा राम्रो सुधार अाउन सक्छ ।
