लन्डन, जेष्ठ २२ -
अध्ययनका लागि यहाँ आएका तीन नेपाली विद्यार्थीलाई युके बोर्डर एजेन्सी
(युकेबीए) ले शुक्रबार पक्राउ गरेको छ ।

नेपालीद्वारा सञ्चालित 'रारा रेष्टुरेन्ट' मा काम गरिरहेका बेला ती
विद्यार्थी पक्राउ परेका हुन् । पक्राउ पर्नेमा वुद्धि तामाङ, राजु थापा र
बमबहादुर थापा छन् । युकेबीए पदाधिकारीले ति विद्यार्थीसंग सोधपुछ गर्दा
तिनीहरुले कलेजको नाम समेत बताउन नसकेको, कलेजमा हाजिरी नदेखिएको र सबैका
कलेज 'सस्पेन्ड' मा परेकाले ती समातिएका हुन् । छापाका क्रममा करिब १५ जना
पदाधिकारी भ्यानमा आएका थिए भने उनीहरुले काम गर्ने सबैलाई एक एक गरेर
सोधपुछ गरेका थिए ।

रारा रेष्टुरेन्टका मालिक प्रताप रायमाझीले युकेबीए पदाधिकारीको भनाई उदृत
गर्दै इकान्तिपुरसँग भने- 'यी अंग्रेजी बोल्न पटक्कै जान्दैनन्,
कलेज कहिल्यै जाँदैनन् भने उनीहरु यहाँ बस्नुको अर्थ के - कमाउन होइन -
भनेर र्‍याखर्‍याखती पारे । विचरा ति भाइहरु 'नर्भस्' भएर केही बोल्न
सकेनन् अनि समातेर लगे ।'

ती पदाधिकारीले रायमाझीसँग कानुन उल्लंघन गर्नेलाई 'कुनै क्षमा छैन्, तिमी
युकेमा छौं भने यहाँको कानुन पालना गर्नुपर्छ' भनेर रुखो शब्द प्रयोग
गरेको समेत बताए । रायमाझीले ती अधिकारीले आफूसंग कानुनले तोके भन्दा बढि
काम गर्ने करिब ५० हजारलाई समात्ने तयारी भइरहेको समेत बताएको उल्लेख गरे ।
 

युकेबीए पदाधिकारी खासमा नेपाली मधुसुदन पन्तलाई समात्न रेष्टुरेन्ट आएका
हुन् । अवतार सिंह भन्ने व्यक्तिले २६ मे मा दिएको निवेदनका आधारमा
अक्सब्रिज म्याजिष्टे्रट कोर्टले उही दिन 'वारेन्ट' जारी गर्दै पन्तलाई
समात्न आदेश दिएपछि उनको खोजीका क्रममा युकेबीए पदाधिकारी रारा रेष्टुरेन्ट
छिरेका थिए ।  

सोलिसिटर राजु थापाले डेभिड क्यामरन नेतृत्वको संयुक्त सरकारले आफ्नो
'अध्यागमन नियन्त्रण नीति' सशक्त रुपमा कार्यान्वयन गर्न खोजेको देखिएको
जनाए । 'कानुनले दिएको समय भन्दा बढि काम गर्ने विद्यार्थीलाई तुरुन्त
'डिपोट' गर्न सक्ने प्रावधान भएकाले यसमा कसैले वचाउन सक्दैन्'-थापाले
भने-'तोकिएको समय भन्दा बढि काम नगर्न र एनआइ (नेशनल इन्सुरेन्स्) नम्बर
दिएर मात्र काम गर्न विद्यार्थीलाई सुझाव छ ।'

कानुन उलङ्घन गर्नेलाई त कार्बाहि गर्नु नै पर्छ यदि उनिहरुले त्यसो गरेका हुन भने। जे पायो तेहि गर्न पाइने त नेपालमा मात्रै हो साथि हो।

I do not blame the government or the poor students. The poor students would not have broken the law willingly. As we all know the new comers "Tier 4" students are having real bad time in UK. The now hung parliament have said they will do everything to put immigration policy right in this country, and they seem like they are sticking to their word. I do not blame them either. They gave visa to the students to study not to work. But, they did not realized that tens of thousands of students who have come here are not all able to pay their school fees.

Free suggestion.....
Work legally/illegally what ever you can.... make some money.... pay the loan back home if you have first.... its hard for your parents back home....

If you dont have loan to pay.... make sure you study as well along with ur part time legal work..... make the most of the opportunity !!!

i haven't lived in UK but i don't think you can support yourself in expensive country like UK working part time. i've heard students now a days can only work 10 hours. UK govt made a lot of money sponsoring these visas few months ago to boost their economy and now it's doing it's best to send students back home. who the hell gave the visas to the students who couldn't speak english? them... who made sure they were able to finance ? them, and now who's blaming the students? them..

I agree that working illigally in UK is obligation especially for those Nepalese students who are deceived by educational consultancies in Nepal. BUT I don't agree that UK government used these students to boost UK economy. Lots of the colleges where  Nepalese students paid their fee are already closed and their owner ran away taking all Money. Most of the students are living either with another Nepali's house or sharing with other students (10-20 in 2-3 bed room house). Which benefits either house owner or a person who lead the house NOT government. In fact it makes lots of burden to govenment because government provides free health services to all these people. In some areas, local council can't clean up bins due to unexpected rise in number of people living in that area. So where is the benefit to government bringing these students in UK?? you may say, they have paid visa fee. Well everybody who enters UK pay visa fee. there are millions of people who enter UK every year.

If you really track where those money paid by students goes, then you can clearly see all of those money are gone to either another Nepalese' or Indians's or Pakistani's pocket illigally! So I don't think it's logical to blame government for those mistakes which are done by students by themselves.. ( but all these doesn't apply to those students who are studying in good colleges or universities!!!)

Dont blame anyone but globalisation and deep recession. UK isnt the country what it used to be..its C.R.A.P.
