Omar hits out at Mehbooba over SKIMS Director attachment with GAD row

Jammu, Jan 12 (KMW): Upping the ante against Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister over attachment of the Director of SKIMS with the General Administration Department last week, National Conference working president Omar Abdullah on Friday said the strings in this ”puppet show” were being pulled by an influential Kashmiri doctor sitting in the US and Mehbooba Mufti was either a willing participant or a powerless spectator.
The government on January 6 attached Dr A G Ahangar with the GAD and ordered suspension of three senior faculty members in a separate order.
The three suspended doctors were found doing private practice despite ban by the government in a sting operation recently.
However, no reason for his attachment was given in the order.
The reaction by the NC working president came after the Jammu and Kashmir High Court on Thursday stayed the state government’s order to attach Dr Ahangar with the GAD last week.
