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
