A proposal to name five provinces in Lumbini and the capital Dang has been tabled in the state assembly meeting.
In the meeting of state assembly held on Friday, the internal owner of state 5 and law minister Kul Prasad KC presented a proposal on the capital and naming of state five.
It has also been proposed that capital of Province 5 be located in Deukhuri area of Rapti Valley of Dang. Similarly, name Lumbini has been proposed as the common identity of Lumbini, the birthplace of Gautam Buddha, said Minister KC.
As soon as Minister KC submitted the proposal on capital and naming, the opposition Congress MPs stood up and protested. Minister KC said he was saddened by the state's proposal.
A meeting of the state assembly has been called on Monday to discuss the proposal. Two-thirds vote is required for capital and nomination.
As CPN (Maoist) has two-thirds of votes in the state assembly and whip has been issued from the center, it is seen that vote on the capital issue will be completed. Earlier, lawmakers were divided on the issue of capital.
