The UML leader said that the first priority of the people is new constitution and reconstruction comes second, adding that the constitution would be issued before Dashain.
Leader Pokharel was speaking at an interaction programme organised here on 'Possibilities and Challenges of Nepal's Reconstruction' by Nepali students in Japan on Saturday evening.
On the occasion, he praised the contributions made by Japan and other countries in the health sector after the devastating April 25 earthquake.
Likewise, Pokharel said that the efforts carried out by Non-Resident Nepalis (NRNs) to provide relief and support to the quake-hit people in the remote areas were praiseworthy and claimed that the government was centered merely in the capital city.
Similarly, Nepal's Ambassador to Japan, Dr Madan Kumar Bhattarai, said that they failed to submit the action plan to the Government of Japan for the post-quake reconstruction bids as the action plans were not made available there.
