BOISE, Idaho (KBOI) -- An Idaho lawmaker says he's working to stop a Hindu prayer set to open at the Idaho statehouse Tuesday morning.

Idaho Sen. Steve Vick wrote on Facebook that he's "extremely disappointed" after learning about the planned prayer after the Coeur d'Alene Press reported on the story over the weekend.

The prayer will be delivered by Hindu statesman Rajan Zed, who said in a news release that it's the first time a Hindu prayer has opened the Idaho senate.

"It is interesting that as a Senator I have to learn about this from the newspaper," Vick wrote in the Facebook post. "I am working to get it stopped. Contact your Senator and find out where they stand."
