Demand of Youth Association to reject proposal to name Butwal Mandap as Girija Prasad
The youth association has objected to the proposal of the Butwal Mandap to be named Girija Prasad Koirala Butwal Mandap.
KATHMANDU: The National Youth Association, the CPN (UML’s youth wing), has objected to the proposal to rename the Butwal Mandap Girija Prasad Koirala Butwal Mandap.
The youth association has objected to the proposal of the Butwal Mandap to be named Girija Prasad Koirala Butwal Mandap, which is being constructed as a project of national pride in Butwal Sub-Metropolitan.
Following this, the Butwal Sub-Metropolitan Committee, the Youth Association, and the National Youth Association Nepal Butwal 6 Committee issued a joint statement on Wednesday expressing their opposition. They claimed that Butwal Mandap was being politicized and urged the sub-metropolitan not to do so.
On June 22, while presenting the policy and program for the coming year, Mayor Khel Raj Pandey announced that the name Girija Prasad Koirala would be placed in front of the name Butwal Mandap.
He announced that the Girija Prasad Koirala Butwal Mandap would be named in honor of the then-Prime Minister Girija Prasad Koirala, who had played an important role in acquiring the land for Butwal Mandap. Following this, the youth association came out against it.
