KHANDBARI: Prime Minister Madhav Kumar Nepal today said the new constitution should be promulgated after the rehabilitation of the Maoist combatants.

Stating that the main problem right now was the rehabilitation of the combatants, the PM urged the UCPN-M to help manage the fighters. "The Maoists should take the responsibility if the new constitution is not drafted on time, due to the delay in rehabilitation of the combatants,'' he said, inaguarating the Chainpur Mahotsav here.
