JAMMU, Dec 31: 2012, like the preceding years, did not see Jammu province witnessing any change whatsoever in its political status; the province, which houses almost half of the state's population, occupies area two time more that of Kashmir and contributes more than 75 per cent revenue to the exchequer annually, suffered immense socio-economic and political losses at the hands of what could be dismissed as the NC-Congress biased and Valley-centric rule.

Jammu, Dec 31: Something is fundamentally wrong with the self-styled freedom fighter Mirwaiz Umar Farooq.
