Prime Minister Narendra Modi will be addressing the nation at 8 pm on Thursday in what is known to be a bid to reach out to people of Kashmir after the measures taken by the Centre in Jammu and Kashmir, the Prime Minister’s Office informed in a tweet.

"Prime Minister Narendra Modi will be addressing the nation at 8 PM today," the PMO tweeted. Modi's address comes two days after the Parliament passed a resolution revoking the special status of Jammu and Kashmir under Article 370 of the Constitution and a Bill that reorganises the state into two union territories --Jammu and Kashmir, and Ladakh. The adoption of the resolution on Article 370 has also rendered Article 35A that defined permanent residents of the state invalid. The Prime Minister is expected to mention the issues related to Jammu and Kashmir in his address tonight.
