PM's radio talk at 4 pm today

August 08, 2019 11:46

Prime Minister Narendra Modi will address the nation in a special broadcast by All India Radio at 4 pm today. The Prime Minister is likely to address the nation on the central government's decision of scrapping Article 370 and splitting the state into two Union Territories.

PM Modi would explain the government's historic step of the abrogation of Article 370, which earlier gave special status to the state of Jammu and Kashmir in his address.

President Kovind on Wednesday signed the abrogation of Article 370 which accorded a special status to Jammu and Kashmir, after a resolution regarding the same was passed in both houses of the Parliament earlier this week.
