Due to Maoist activities, Indian security personnel have been pestering Nepali people on border areas, he said.
Replying to a query, he said the statement of Maoist Chairman Pushpa Kamal Dahal that called for a tripartite strategic alliance between Nepal, India and China is "controversial".
Accusing the UCPN (Maoist) of trying to work with the former king, he said the Nepali Congress and the CPN-UML were also to blame for the present situation.
