Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Wednesday said he will address the nation "around 11.45 a.m." with an "important message" and urged people to watch him "on TV, radio or social media".
"I would be addressing the nation at around 11.45 a.m. - 12 noon with an important message. Do watch the address on television, radio or social media," he tweeted. A YouTube link has also been shared with a few media houses.
It is not yet clear though what the Prime Minister would speak about.
A cabinet meeting has taken place following a Cabinet Committee on Security. It is expected that Modi will speak as soon as the cabinet meet gets over, television reports said.
The last time Modi addressed the nation was on November 8, 2016, when he announced demonetisation or the overnight ban on Rs 500 and Rs 1,000 notes.
