"The government has welcomed it without going into the details", he told reporters in Thiruchirappalli.

Stating that the CPI stood solidly behind Nepal's SPA, he asked, "What right did the King had to contain the Maoists?"

He also criticised the King's order to disconnect the mobile services in the country saying "it was unfair".
