oath of the Bhagavad Gita
In the year 2020, Rishi Sunak was sworn in as the Finance Minister. During this, he took oath by placing his hand on Bhagavad Gita and he became the favorite of every Indian. When a British newspaper asked him on this, he answered it in his own style. The sage said, ‘I am a citizen of Britain now but my religion is Hindu. India is my religious and cultural heritage. I can proudly say that I am a Hindu and being a Hindu is my identity. Sunak, who has a statue of Lord Ganesha on his desk, has also appealed to give up beef on religious grounds. He himself does not consume beef. Rishi does not even drink alcohol. Even today, there is a small statue of Lord Ganesha on the sage’s desk which was kept by his wife Akshata.
