Maoist chairman Prachanda, was quoted as saying: "Our past policy towards the 1950 treaty remains unchanged, we want to scrap that treaty and replace it with a new one in the changed context".
"We also want to review all other treaties signed between Nepal and India", the 54-year-old former school teacher added.
Under the treaty, people living in both countries could freely travel across the border for employment and reside in either place. There is a termination clause in the treaty and Nepal can scrap the pact, if it decides it is not in their interests.
