PM Modi to address nation in AIR broadcast at 4 pm
New Delhi, Aug 8 (IBNS): Prime Minister Narendra Modi will address the nation in a special broadcast on All India Radio (AIR) at 4 pm on Thursday.
He is expected to address the nation over withdrawing the special status of Jammu and Kashmir and the bifurcation of the state into two Union Territories.
This will be the Prime Minister's first address to the public after his government scrapped Articles 370 and 35A through a presidential order, a move which received a reasonable support from some opposition parties and few key Congress leaders like Jyotiraditya Scindia, Milind Deora.
The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP)-led Centre took away the statehood of Jammu and Kashmir and bifurcated it into two Union Territories, Jammu and Kashmir with an assembly and Ladakh without an assembly.
