In the final press meet of his tenure in Nepal, Mukherjee said India would
not hesitate to work with the Maoist-led government, as they would be
forming it in a legitimate way. He is leaving for New Delhi
tomorrow.
Speaking at the Reporters' Club, he said India would support the decision
of Nepali people on monarchy.
When asked about recent ban on exports of some goods including cement to
Nepal, he clarified that the prohibition was not just aimed at Nepal but
for all countries. "It was a step towards preventing growing inflation in
India," he said. He further said India could rethink on this prohibition
