Jammu, Jan 14: A day after Prime Minister Narendra Modi praised the Jammu and Kashmir government, Defence Minister Rajnath Singh commended Chief Minister Omar Abdullah for his sincere efforts to bridge the gap between the people of Jammu and Kashmir and the rest of the country.

He highlighted that the policies of the government are aimed at ensuring equitable development across all regions of the country.

Singh applauded Chief Minister Omar Abdullah for taking steps to narrow any remaining gaps and fostering unity.
