NEW DELHI: Prime Minister Narendra Modi will address the nation in a television broadcast at 8 pm (9:30pm Oman time) on Thursday. PM Modi’s address comes in the wake of the government’s decision to revoke Article 370 which grants special status to Jammu & Kashmir.
Two days after the contentious Article 370 was revoked in Parliament, amid lockdown in Jammu and Kashmir, regional political leaders, including former chief ministers Mehbooba Mufti, Omar Abdullah and Farooq Abdullah, remained under house arrest.
Objecting strongly to developments in J&K, Pakistan has partially closed its airspace for a month, downgraded its bilateral trade with India and expelled Indian envoy to Islamabad.
