Sunak opens up on his belief in Hinduism
Rishi Sunak has visited several temples of India in the past. He has been quite vocal about his religious belief in Hinduism and his Indian roots. He talked about this in January this year when he visited London’s iconic BAPS Swaminarayan Mandir, also known as Neasden Temple. Taking to the press, Sunak stated, “I am Hindu, and like all of you, I draw inspiration and comfort from my faith. 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.”
