MORANG: Chief Minister of Koshi Province, Hikmat Karki, has said CPN UML has no major problems to sort out.
“The UML had to make a strong stand on naming Khoshi Province, but it was not so,” he said at a program, expressing worry that some of the 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 by 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 riots here.
He wondered why Rastriya Swatantra Party did not come up with a clear response on the naming of the province although all other parties made their views public on it.
