		While Azad, as a chief ministerial candidate and under pressure from Congress grassroots workers from all three regions of the state, argued for a change of guard, Antony preferred a lofty stance of allowing the Mufti to continue.
		Hours before Ghulam Nabi Azad was to be sworn in as the first Congress chief minister of Kashmir in 30 years, a massive car bomb went off at the busy Nowgam highway killing six people and injuring many.
		Azad would also have to strike a balance between the aspirations of his party leaders and supporters and the compulsions of leading a coalition government.

	The Nation
		The appointment of Ghulam Nabi Azad as the puppet chief minister in IHK, with effect from November 25, 2005, is a significant development that has come about at a time when things are in a flux in Kashmir.
		Azad’s elevation at such significant juncture means that Congress will have a CM in JandK after a gap of 30 years, since Mir Qasim made way for an aging Sheikh Mohammed Abdullah in the wake of Indira Gandhi—Sheikh Abdullah accord in 1975.
		Azad is from Doda District of the Jammu region and his selection violates the strict precedence set by Nehru, dictating that CM in IHK had to be from the Kashmir Valley.

		Azad, who took over in November last year, had asked the top brass of security personnel to religiously follow four principles—ensuring zero custodial deaths, not using local population during anti-militancy operations, not setting any house on fire where militants are holed up and have a bullet-for-bullet policy for militants.
		Azad, whose government would be completing 100 days on Sunday, said he had made a statement on the floor of the state Assembly and asked all MLAs to come forward and report to him if there is any custodial killing.
		Azad, heading a 20-member ministerial team, can now accommodate only five more in his ministry, whereas his predecessor had 40 ministers in his cabinet.

	A turning point
		Yet, the appointment of Ghulam Nabi Azad as the State's new Chief Minister cannot be described as anything but that: a radical break with Jammu and Kashmir's unhappy political past.
		Azad's own intentions, contrary to some ill-informed media commentary, were evident from the middle of this year.
		A welter of high-profile terrorist attacks on top politicians, notably the assassination of Education Minister Ghulam Nabi Lone in a suicide-squad assault that also almost claimed the life of Communist Party of India (Marxist) leader Mohammad Yusuf Tarigami, could be a sign of things to come.
