London (Britain) – British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak and wife, Akshata Murty, worshipped at London’s iconic BAPS Swaminarayan Mandir, popularly known as Neasden Temple and opened up on his Hindu faith. The couple, who paid the visit to the temple on Saturday, on the last weekend of the general election campaign, was greeted with loud cheers as his convoy drove into the grand temple grounds and went on to perform puja guided by the priests, news agency reported. “I am Hindu, and like all of you, I draw inspiration and comfort from my faith,” the British Prime Minister said. “I was proud to be sworn in as a member of Parliament on the ‘Bhagavad Gita’. Our faith teaches us to do our duty and not fret about the outcome as long as one does it faithfully. That is what I was brought up to believe by my wonderful and loving parents and that is how I live my life and that is what I want to pass on to my daughters as they grow up. It is dharma which guides me in my approach to public service”.

Editorial Perspective

Rishi Sunak’s genuine love for his own Dharma is commendable, but while in his current position, has he done anything for the sake of his own Dharma and fellow Hindus ? If any Christian or a Muslim would have been there in his place, they would have done everything for their Dharma as much as possible !
