PM Modi Address Live Updates: Prime Minister Narendra Modi is set to address the nation today. Although it is not specified what the subject of his address is, it comes a day before the rollout of the next GST system, under which two slabs of 12 percent and 28 percent have been done away with. The rate rationalisation will bring down the prices of some of the most crucial goods and services used by the common people in day-to-day life.

During his Independence Day speech, the Prime Minister had promised a 'Double-Diwali gift' with the reforms in the said indirect tax with is going to take effect on the first day of Navratri, an auspicious nine-day festival dedicated to Shakti.

The speech also comes at a time when the government's foreign policy is facing one of the toughest challenges, given the tumultuous global conditions, marked by the decisions of the United States President Donald Trump.

In its latest decision, the Trump administration has imposed a jaw-dropping $100,000 fee on the H1-B visa applications, a move that would affect the Indian professionals looking to work in the United States. This H1-B visa blow comes on the heels of a steep 50% tariff on Indian imports, which the administration claims is meant to penalize India for financing the Ukraine war by purchasing Russian crude oil.

    Congress general secretary in-charge communications Jairam Ramesh has posed questions to PM Narendra Modi ahead of his address to the nation. In a post on X, Ramesh said, "The Prime Minister is preparing to address the nation, while in Washington DC, his good friend has once again stolen his headlines by claiming for the 42nd time that he stopped Operation Sindoor by taking advantage of the growing trade with America. President Trump has made this claim not only in America but also in Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and Britain."

    "Will the Prime Minister respond to these claims and speak on the continuously deteriorating India-US relations? Will they address the concerns of millions of Indian H1B holders? Will they give some assurance to those millions of farmers and workers whose livelihoods are at risk due to the tariffs imposed by their friend?" he added.

    "Or will they just repeat the same thing we all know about the new GST rates - which were prepared in desperation and are coming into effect from tomorrow," Ramesh said.,
