Prime Minister Narendra Modi is set to address the nation at 8 PM IST on Monday, marking his first public statement since India’s high-impact retaliatory strikes on terror camps in Pakistan. The strikes, launched under ‘Operation Sindoor’, followed the gruesome Pahalgam terror attack on April 22, in which 26 civilians, including a Nepalese national, lost their lives. The attack was executed by Pakistani terrorists linked to The Resistance Front (TRF), a proxy outfit of the banned Lashkar-e-Taiba, reigniting India’s firm stance against cross-border terrorism.
In a decisive response, Indian armed forces targeted nine key terror facilities, including the infamous Markaz Taiba in Muridke—closely tied to the 2008 Mumbai attacks—and several others located in Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK). Modi’s address comes amid rising national and global interest, especially after the Indian military held two press briefings on Sunday and Monday revealing operational details of the strikes and confirming air raids on Pakistani airbases. With tensions at a boiling point, the Prime Minister’s speech is expected to lay out India’s next course of action and rally national sentiment.
