A Gurkha veteran has said he'll starve himself to death unless the Government gives him and thousands of his Gurkha comrades the equal pension he says they deserve.

For the last two decades Gurkha soldiers have fought for the British Army, but if they retired before 1997, they don't receive the same pension as their British counterparts.
