Sundarharaicha (Morang), Sept 24:
Chief Minister of Koshi Province, Hikmat Karki, has said CPN UML had no big
problems to sort out.
CM Karki viewed it while
inaugurating the first convention of Progressive and Professional Legal
Practitioners' Association close to his party here Saturday. "The UML had
to make strong stand on naming Khoshi Province, but it was not so," he admitted,
expressing worry that some of UML cadres themselves wrote and opined against
naming of Koshi Province.
He asserted that the naming
Province-1 as Koshi Province was correct and there was no point in getting
backtracked from it.
According to him, a protest was
launched forcefully against naming the province. He further argued that the
protest was not raised from local people but outsourced by bringing people even
from the federal capital, Kathmandu.
CM Karki also blamed that some elements
were trying to launch communal riot here.
He wondered why Rastriya Swatantra
Party did not come up with clear response on naming of province although all
other parties made their views public on it.
The convention is attended by the
legal practitioners from Koshi Province. (RSS)
