Rishi Sunak, who is proud to be a Hindu, gave his first speech by tying Kalava
Rishi Sunak will be the first Indian-origin Prime Minister of Britain. After the resignation of Liz Truss, Conservative Party lawmakers chose Rishi Sunak as their new leader in the Tory leadership election. Penny Mordont, who stood in front of Rishi in the party’s election, received the support of very few MPs, after which she excluded herself from the race for the post of PM.
Rishi Sunak, who created history by becoming the first Hindu Prime Minister of the UK, gave his first speech at 10 Downing Street (Britain Prime Minister’s residence) after winning the election. During this, Kalawa or Mauli was seen tied on the wrist of Rishi Sunak. Special importance of Kalava (Rakshasutra) has been given in Hinduism. It is also tied after completing worship or other religious activities. The most important thing is that Sage Sunak may have lived in Western civilization, but he has a special attachment to his religion.
I will unite our country, not with words, but with action.

The ‘filmy’ story of Rishi Sunak becoming PM

Liz Truss was elected Prime Minister by winning a majority of Conservative MPs and Rishi Sunak lost the election. Liz Truss became Prime Minister and had to resign from her post within 45 days.

He got more strength when Boris Johnson was out of the electoral race before the party elections. After which only Penny Mordont was left in the collision of Rishi.
