National Conference Vice President and former Chief Minister Omar Abdullah has raised questions on appointment of a temporary Director General Police saying that "there was no hurry to replace Vaid as DGP."

Taking to micro blogging social networking website twitter Omar said, "Changing the DG is the prerogative of the administration but why a DG as a temporary arrangement? The current DG won’t know if he’s going to stay & others who would like his job will be trying to replace him. None of this is good for @JmuKmrPolice. There was no hurry to replace @spvaid. He should have been changed only when a permanent arrangement had been worked out. @JmuKmrPolice has enough problems without having to deal with confusion of leadership."
