| Taj goes above board, leaves Cong headed coordination committee 'dumb' | | Cong peeved over prosecution of Vakil, appointment of Kapur | | | Syed Junaid Hashmi
jammu, Oct 11: Chief Minister Omar Abdullah's unilateral decisions to rehabilitate ex-Chief Secretary S.S. Kapur and prosecute senior Congress leader Abdul Gani Vakil has not gone well with Congress.
Sources said that both the decisions were taken without seeking prior sanction from the NC-Congress coordination committee, which is headed by President of Jammu and Kashmir Pradesh Congress Committee (JKPCC) Prof. Saif-ud-din Soz. They added that a hefty bargain was stuck with 'Chief Minister-in-waiting' Taj Mohi-ud-Din for both appointment of Kapur and prosecution of Vakil.
Taj Mohi-ud-din wanted Government to silence ex-Minister and senior Congress leader Abdul Gani Vakil, who had accused the PHE Minister of indulging in corrupt practices and lodged a written complaint with Congress high command, sources said. On the other side, a coterie of officers surrounding Chief Minister Omar Abdullah wanted suitable rehabilitation of ex-Chief Secretary S.S.Kapur. If insiders are to be believed, they would often remind Omar about the 'promise' with Kapur.
