New on-line Gurkha Justice Petition Launched7.01.00pm GMT Wed 13th Dec 2006 2 years ago, a major campaign by Gurkhas and strongly backed by the Liberal Democrats won an agreement to give citizenship rights to ex-Gurkhas who had served this country. A new on line petition to support the Gurkha's cause has been launched at the new E-petitions service at http://petitions.pm.gov.uk/gurkha/. The Gurkhas are continuing to protest about the Government's failure to properly honour the right for retired Gurkhas to become citizens of the UK on retirement and to protest about the low pensions (1/6th to 1/8th that of other ex-Servicemen) paid to retired Gurkhas.
