Chief Minister Omar Abdullah said Gandhi's message of truth, non-violence, peace and communal harmony remains relevant and called upon people to reaffirm commitment to peace, harmony and social solidarity. ## Indian Opinion Analysis All three sources report the same set of official statements from President Murmu, LG Sinha, and CM Abdullah, with no differences in framing or emphasis.
