PM Modi delivers 103-minute Independence Day speech, surpassing all previous records for longest prime ministerial address.

During his Friday speech, Modi also hinted India would continue its unilateral suspension of the Indus Water Treaty. The treaty, which India suspended after the April massacre, allows sharing of the Indus River that runs about 2,897 kilometers (1,800 miles) through South Asia and is a lifeline for both countries.

PM Modi's 79th Independence Day speech highlights GST reforms, youth employment scheme, semiconductor production, and security initiatives.
