PM Narendra Modi will address the nation at 5 pm on June 7, the Prime Minister’s Office (PMO) has said in a tweet.
While it was not immediately clear as to what the Prime Minister’s address to the nation would be about, it comes on a day. India reported Just over 1 lakh new daily COVID-19 cases, the lowest in around two months.
Sources said that the Prime Minister is likely to stress the need to get vaccinated and talk about his government’s COVID-19 vaccination policy, which has been criticized by various states as well as experts. The Supreme Court had also recently questioned the Centre over its nationwide vaccination policy. The union government may take responsibility for vaccine procurement.
“The address may also stress on the need to follow COVID-19 appropriate behavior at a time when states are ‘unlocking’, and touch upon preparation for a possible third wave of cases.
Prime Minister Shri @narendramodi will address the nation at 5 PM today, 7th June.
