PM Modi to address the nation at 8 pm today

Prime Minister Narendra Modi will address the nation at 8 pm on Monday for the first time since Indian Armed Forces successfully completed ‘Operation Sindoor’s and the escalation surged between between India and Pakistan.

His address will come two days after both countries reached a mutual agreement to cease all military offensives across land, air, and sea.

Earlier on 7 May, in response to Pahalgam terror attack, Indian Armed Forces launched Operation Sindoor and destroyed nine terror infrastructures in Pakistan and Pakistan-Occupied-Kashmir. During the operation, at least 100 terrorists were killed.

PM Modi chaired a high-level meeting earlier in the day where Defence Minister Rajnath Singh and External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar were present. This meeting took place ahead of a scheduled talk between the Director Generals of Military Operations (DGMOs) of India and Pakistan.

NSA Ajit Doval, Chief of Defence Staff General Anil Chauhan and all three service chiefs were among those who attended the meeting.

As per details, PM Modi has been holding regular meetings with top government and defence officials at his residence in New Delhi since 22 April after the Pahalgam terror attack, where 26 people were killed.

In one of the briefings following Pakistan's military actions, PM Modi was quoted by one of the officials as saying, "Wahan se goli chalegi, toh yahan se gola chalega (If they fire bullets, we will respond with cannons)", as reported by news agency PTI.

In response to the Pahalgam terror attack, Prime Minister Modi had said then, "Today, I address the world: India will identify and punish every terrorist and their supporters, pursuing them relentlessly. Our spirit will remain unbroken by terrorism, and justice will prevail. The nation is united in this resolve, and we are grateful to the people and leaders of various countries for their support."
