	The Telegraph - Calcutta : Nation
		Mufti has numbers on his side — 16 members of his People’s Democratic Party (PDP), 20 of the Congress, four of the Panthers Party, two of the CPM and three from Ladakh region that brings the total of 45, more than the majority mark in the House.
		Mufti has appeased senior PDP leaders, Muzzaffar Hussain Beigh and Ghulam Hassan Mir, with the plum portfolios of finance and planning, and housing and urban development, reducing the chances of a PDP split.
		Mufti said militancy in the state was destroying the “vitals” of the country.

	Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Mufti Mohammad Sayeed resigns, Ghulam Nabi Azad to take over
		Both Sayeed and his daughter Mehbooba Mufti pledged to support to the new administration under Azad.
		PDP president Mehbooba Mufti, Finance Minister Muzaffar Hussain Beigh and Tourism Minister Ghulam Hassan Mir are among the contenders for this post.
		Under the power sharing agreement between the allies, Sayeed's governing PDP was to transfer control of government to the Congress on November 2, after completing three years in office to pave way for the coalition partner to head the alliance government.

	J&K: Forward to the Past?
		Sayeed was Home Minister in the ill-fated V.P. Singh regime that came to power at Delhi in December 1989, and, to those unfamiliar with the facts, such experience may suggest strong qualification to deal with the problems that plague JandK.
		Sayeed has also declared that terrorists in custody for 'minor crimes' would be released, and that a 'political process' involving negotiations with all extremist formations in JandK would be initiated.
		Sayeed's pronouncements and the Common Minimum Programme of the PDP-Congress alliance also reflect a significant measure of Kashmiri parochialism, and incline to a neglect of the Jammu and Ladakh regions, proclivities that will deepen divisions and perceptions of a regime that seeks to appease only the most radicalised elements of the population.

	Mufti to talk on Kashmir 'self-rule' idea at UN - Printer Friendly Page - India - Telugu Portal (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		Jammu, Oct 25 (IANS) Former Jammu and Kashmir chief minister Mufti Mohammad Sayeed has been busy meeting political leaders and others ahead of his visit to the United Nations where he is expected to project India as having a "better and workable solution" to the Kashmir crisis.
		Mufti Sayeed is a strong votary of internal dialogue between Delhi and the alienated sections of Kashmiri society, - read separatists.
		Mufti Sayeed is making all efforts to make his UN visit as a high-profile event.

	A man of many parts - and parties
		A decade and a half ago Sayeed was an architect of the state terror, on opposing which he has now built his political fortunes; and four decades ago he began his political life in the party to whose decimation he devoted much of his political life.
		Born in Baba Mohalla at Bijbehara in January 1936, Sayeed's early life was typical of the new bourgeoisie that emerged in Kashmir in the middle of the century.
		But Sayeed lost the elections from Bijbehara in 1977 and 1983, on both occasions to the N.C. Sayeed's wilderness years, at least as far as State politics was concerned, had begun.

		Chief Minister Mufti Mohammad Sayeed today challenged the opposition to bring before the assembly a single case of irregularity in the recruitment to government departments made by the coalition government since it assumed office.
		Mohammad Khalil Band in the legislative assembly today, the Chief Minister asked the members of the opposition to come out with facts if they feel irregularities have been committed instead of using lung power to make baseless accusations.
		Mufti Sayeed said the government after due thought decided to introduce only job oriented courses in the newly established colleges so that the youth coming out from these institutions do not have to run from pillar to post for employment.

		Chief Minister Mufti Mohammad Sayeed and his policy of bringing a ‘healing touch’ to JandK is now seen as the reason for what appears to be a sudden spurt in militant violence, symbolised by the fidayeen attack on Jammu’s Raghunath Temple.
		In the process, Mufti was projected as having opened the gates of all the prisons in the state and was friendly with all the militant groups, including the jehadis from across the border.
		What Mufti and his government did was that they did not re-arrest them in the court compound like the previous government had done.

	MUFTI'S TURN
		Speaking to journalists after the deal with the PDP was inked on October 26, Sonia Gandhi made this concern explicit: the decision, she said, was made "in the larger interests of the people of the Valley".
		The three-year term given to Sayeed was unacceptable, they argued, since there were no guarantees that he would not bring the government down after that time.
		Sayeed may succeed, as others have in the past, in beginning a dialogue with secondary terrorist groups, but such initiatives have had little concrete impact.

		Mufti said, " With the elections in 2002, they could feel a change and now they know that they can change their fate by exercising their franchise, which will be respected," he said, asserting that he did not mean that all the elections held since 1947 were "fraud".

		This was their first one-on-one meeting after Mufti Sayeed handed-over power to Ghulam Nabi Azad in November 2005, though the two had met each other on the sidelines of the flagging of the Poonch-Rawalakoke-cross-LOC bus service on June 20 this year.
		Sayeed hailed the principled stand of Sonia Gandhi for extending support and cooperation to the reconciliation process for the larger goal of the betterment of the people of Jammu and Kashmir.

	Where Is the Mufti Headed?
		Mufti Mohammad Sayeed’s “healing touch” prescription in JandK is just not working out.
		However, the Mufti and his daughter continue to release all manner of captives and to distribute employment letters to one member of such families as have lost a bread winner in the collateral damage from terrorism in the state.
		It seems queer logic, then, that the Mufti government continues, with the consent of the Congress, to desist from using POTA in the state.

	Mufti Mohammad Sayeed-led PDP-Congress coalition in J&K has revived the people's faith in democracy
		We the undersigned believe that the Mufti Mohammad Sayeed-led PDP-Congress coalition in J&K has revived the people's faith in democracy and peace in all three regions of the State by effectively combating the politics of violence and terror through a "healing touch policy".
		Despite Mufti Sahib's readiness to step down as CM, in accordance with the power-sharing agreement made in 2002, India’s national interest would be best served by his continuance in office as Chief Minister so that he can consolidate the forces of peace, democracy and development that have been set in motion.
		We therefore appeal to the Congress leadership to let Mufti continue undisturbed in the larger interests of India and the enlightened self-interest of the Congress itself, which would gain credibility by such an act of self-abnegation.

		Sayeed told the External Affairs Minister that the operational challenge in Jammu and Kashmir is to establish innovative institutional arrangement that will have political, economic and security character.

		FOR the first 32 years of his life, the road to Mohammad Yusuf Khanday's small village near the south Kashmir town of Tral was a scarred strip of earth, swamp in the rain and dust-bowl in the heat, the last remnants of the tarmac that once overlaid it having disappeared into history.
		Until recently, most commentators believed Sayeed, whose government had successfully advertised its developmental record and adroitly capitalised on the decline in the levels of terrorism in the State, would remain in office.
		The argument that Sayeed is a representative of an ineffable `Kashmiri sentiment' is of course untestable, but does not have a sound empirical foundation.
