On Tuesday, United Kingdom Prime Minister Rishi Sunak participated in a Ramayana recital by spiritual leader Morari Bapu at Cambridge University. He emphasized that he attended the event as a Hindu, not in his role as the Prime Minister. Starting his speech with a chant of "Jai Siya Ram," PM Sunak expressed his privilege to be part of Morari Bapu's Ram Katha on Indian Independence Day at the University of Cambridge.


He stated that he was present on that day not in his capacity as the Prime Minister, but as a follower of the Hindu faith. He explained that his faith holds a deeply personal significance, providing guidance in all areas of his life.


Sunak acknowledged that holding the position of Prime Minister is a significant honor, yet it comes with its challenges. He mentioned that tough decisions need to be made and challenging choices need to be faced. He also noted that his faith provides him with the bravery, strength, and determination needed to give his utmost effort for the betterment of his country.
