The government-owned Press Information Bureau of India (PIB) has debunked a viral social media post that stated that Prime Minister Narendra Modi was scheduled to address the nation on Friday, October 31. In an official post on its X (formerly Twitter) handle, it wrote, "In a post circulating on social media, it is being claimed that Prime Minister Narendra Modi will address the nation at 6 PM on October 31, 2025." 

According to the government organisation, the news circulating on social media is based on a morphed image of an official announcement. 

It further said that the image is 'fake' and tagged the Prime Minister's Office, and said that no such announcement has been made.
