BRITAIN-NEPAL-MILITARY-POLITICS-IMMIGRATION
British Prime Minister Gordon Brown (R) meets a former Gurkhas soldiers including Tul Bahadur Pun V.C. in the garden of Downing Street in London on May 21, 2009 after it was announced that the Nepalese soldiers would gain full UK residency rights. Britain announced a climbdown over settlement rights for Gurkha veterans, saying all of the Nepalese fighters who have served at least four years can apply to live here. The amended settlement guidelines, announced by Home Secretary Jacqui Smith in the House of Commons, were greeted by an explosion of applause and victory cries by Gurkhas and campaigners gathered outside parliament.
