Sickularism may not be pleased, but reality is bitter nevertheless! Rishi Sunak is the first Hindu to become British Prime Minister, securing the position on Diwali, the festival of lights that marks one of the most important days of the Hindu calendar.
"I can proudly say that I am a Hindu and being a Hindu is my identity," he has said in a media interview.
Aptly, he said, his faith/Hinduism "gives me strength, it gives me purpose. It's part of who I am." "Sunak himself made history in 2020 when he lit Diwali candles outside 11 Downing Street, the official residence of the UK chancellor," says a CNN report.
TOOK OATH ON BHAGAVAD GITA
Sunak also made history when he swore his oath to Parliament after the 2017 General Elections with his hand on a copy of the Bhagavad Gita.
Rishi Sunak is said to be the richest man in the House of Commons, while reports claim that his wife Akshata is wealthier than British Queen Elizabeth II with assets worth £430 million. “The United Kingdom is a great country, but there is no doubt we face a profound economic challenge,” said Rishi Sunak, 42.
“We need stability and unity, and I will make it my utmost priority to bring our party and our country together," he pledged.
MESSAGES FROM WORLD LEADERS
CNN headline screamed, 'Rishi Sunak: The super-rich former banker who will be the first person of colour to lead Britain' He is also the youngest person to take the office in more than 200 years. He was the last person standing after his rivals – Boris Johnson and the Leader of the House of Commons Penny Mordaunt – fell by the wayside.
