Opposition walks out of J&K Assembly 

Jammu, Jan 11 (IANS) The opposition on Thursday walked out of the Jammu and Kashmir Assembly over the sacking of Sher-i-Kashmir Institute of Medical Sciences (SKIMS) Director A.G. Ahangar.

After the House met, members of the entire opposition including the National Conference and the Congress stood up and demanded to know why the government had removed Ahangar.

Following a sting operation by Republic TV that showed three prominent doctors of the institute doing private practice in defiance of their service rules, the state government had suspended the three doctors and removed Ahangar.

Senior National Conference leader Ali Muhammad Sagar asked the government to explain why Ahangar was removed from the directorship of the institute when he was not personally engaged in doing any private practice.
