The outlawed Nepal Communist Party (NCP) today demanded that the Nepali youths be barred from joining the Gorkha Regiment of Indian Army.
Issuing a press note, the Netra Bikram Chand aka Biplov-led political outfit said that the recruitment of Nepali nationals in Gurkha Regiment should no longer be continued, something that the incumbent government used to say around three decades ago as communists in Nepal has interpreted nationalism as protest against the India.
The press note has been issued by the underground outfit at a time of recent border dispute between India and China in the Galwan Valley in Ladakh. “Amid India-China border tension followed by the killing of Indian troops in the Galwan Valley, India has recently asked Nepali nationals in the Gorkha Regiment, who are currently on home leave, to rejoin their duties,” the press note reads, explaining that it means the Indian side is preparing to deploy Nepali nationals in the Indian Army in their battle against China.
Pointing out that the chances of the Gorkha Regiment's deployment in the battle against China on behalf of India, the underground outfit said that Nepal is an independent nation and its youths working for the military of one country should not be used against the other. “This will also be against Nepal's Non-aligned foreign policy,” the Chand-led outfit said, adding that it will not be acceptable to its party. “Both neighboring countries China and India are equally important for Nepal.”
“It’s a matter of shame that our youths are being used as mercenaries in foreign armies,” the press note reads, adding that it is just the continuation of agreements reached between the feudal Ranas and the imperial powers in the past. “We urge the government to bar the Nepali youths from joining the Gorkha Regiment and create employment opportunities at home itself.”
Appealing Nepali youths not to join the Indian Army in the days to come, the outfit also urged the Indian government not to deploy the Gorkha Regiment in its battle against China.
