Transcript

00:00big breaking news coming in right now is that prime minister narendra modi will be addressing

00:10the nation tonight at eight so we shall be expecting some sort of a message to be sent

00:18out by the prime minister and it is to be assumed that this will be regarding the

00:23operation sundoor that indian armed forces had recently undertaken and also is considered

00:30ongoing prime minister has been meeting with the all the high level uh officials and also the

00:37ministers he recently had a meeting with the indian armed forces chiefs and also the defense

00:43minister and the nsa and he has been completely debriefed also to be noted is that he has been

00:51in contact with the nsa with the chiefs and all the important officials whenever required

00:57and was taking note of every single action of indian army

01:03now let's cut across to shreya chatterjee of india today shreya what do you know about this

01:12address to the nation of prime minister

01:15well you know this will be a very crucial address by the prime minister especially

01:22after the fact that it comes after the ceasefire announcement and also after the army presser

01:29that is well defined on operation sindoor how in a measured manner an attack on the terror camps of

01:37pakistan was carried out the details have already been elaborated in two press conferences by the dgmo

01:43level respective uh chiefs of the navy the army as well as the air force and now subsequently

01:50we will be seeing the prime minister address the nation it is extremely crucial as a messaging

01:55for the public because remember uh i mean even before uh we went into the operation sindoor the

02:02prime minister had addressed the nation suggesting that justice will be served the army has already said

02:07that the justice has been served and very categorically today when uh the dg ops m marshal ak bharati

02:12was speaking he suggested that the government had given us full support so now the message has to

02:19come from the prime minister because at the end of the day he is the one that everyone is right now

02:24looking up to at a time of the kind of digital misinformation that was peddled by pakistan and

02:30addressed by the prime minister will settle a lot of scores absolutely also akshetan and gopal joins us

02:37from the newsroom akshetan what can we expect from this uh address to the nation well extremely crucial

02:43uh anjali first of all because this is the first address by the prime minister to the nation uh since

02:48operation sindoor and essentially first address to the nation since the pelgam terror attack though he has

02:53of course spoken about it in different events but this is the first time he's directly going to be

02:58addressing the nation in all likelihood the prime minister of course is going to be talking

03:02about why they felt the need to kick off operation sindoor talk about some of the highlights of also

03:08the operation what made operation sindoor hugely successful is of course the manner in which our

03:13forces carried out each of these strikes and also responded to pakistan's attempts to hit us so there's

03:19no doubt that the prime minister come 8 p.m this evening is also going to be essentially saluting our

03:24forces on behalf of a grateful grateful nation having said that prime minister modi previously in his

03:30messages after the pelgam terror attack did anjali repeatedly say that we will ensure that we avenge

03:36those who died in the pelgam terror attack uh and that's what essentially operation sindoor was about

03:42what was the trigger was the pelgam terror attack so you know there will be a great deal of focus

03:47perhaps on what the prime minister has to say about that and what really he believes we accomplished

03:51with this kind of an unprecedented operation remember at this point the government our forces have

03:57repeatedly maintained that operation sindoor is an ongoing one so it'll be interesting to see how

04:03much really the prime minister can delve into what our forces have done how they've managed to ensure

04:08this operation was a huge success also on the road ahead the next course of action there have been a lot

04:15of doubters about whether we should really be trusting pakistan with the ceasefire deal or not

04:19so that's something the prime minister perhaps could throw more light on on whether we're actually

04:23going ahead and trusting pakistan or we're taking essentially a wait and watch policy to see what

04:29pakistan does in the next few days because mind you after the first phase of operation sindoor where

04:34clearly our target was terror hubs terror hotspots and nothing beyond that our step two step three phase

04:40two phase three of operation sindoor were merely reactions retaliatory strikes to pakistan attempting to hit

04:46civilian establishments and also hit our military bases so a tough message for pakistan could also be in

04:52the offing when the prime minister speaks at 8 p.m. tonight absolutely and most of the people in the

04:58country will be glued to their televisions trying to listen to what prime minister says
