NEW DELHI: Prime Minister Narendra Modi will address the nation today at 8 pm. It is expected that the PM will explain the Centre's decision to bifurcate Jammu and Kashmir and to scrap Article 370, thereby revoking the special status enjoyed by the state. It must be noted that the Prime Minister's address comes days before his customary address to the country on Independence Day.

Earlier this year, PM Modi had addressed the nation announcing the success of India's A-SAT missile which can be used to shoot down a live satellite thus making it the first Asian country to achieve the feet.
