Kathmandu, Nepal Prime Minister Prachanda has accused the ex-monarchists of infiltrating his party in order to defame it.

Nepalnews quoted Prachanda as saying that the latest incidents, which dragged the Maoist party into controversy, had been orchestrated by such elements.

A few days ago Prachanda had told journalists that during his meeting with Indian ambassador to Nepal Rakesh Sood, the latter had talked about his recent meeting with ex-King Gyanendra in which the former monarch had said that all his loyalists had now turned into Maoists.
