KATHMANDU: Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli said the government is committed to initiating the constitution drafting process on the basis of a broader political consensus.

Speaking at a meeting of the House of Representatives (HoR) today, he said the government would correct the weaknesses observed in the implementation of the country's main law. He was addressing concerns raised during discussions on the government's policies and programmes for fiscal year 2025/26.
