    UK PM candidate Rishi Sunak receives support from US-based Indian organization

    Rishi Sunak, a former UK chancellor, has received the support of a US-based Indian organization that represents the Hindu-American community to become Britain's first prime minister of Indian descent.


    Digital Desk: Rishi Sunak, a former UK chancellor, has received the support of a US-based Indian organization that represents the Hindu-American community to become Britain's first prime minister of Indian descent.

    The two finalists in the campaign to become the new leader of the Conservative Party, who will become the British Prime Minister early next month, fought on Monday over their plans to address the nation's spiraling cost-of-living crisis.

    The Republican Hindu Coalition (RHC), a group in the US established in 2015 to serve as a singular conduit between the Hindu-American community and Republican leaders and policymakers, stated that it supports Sunak to succeed David Cameron as the next prime minister of Great Britain because he shares their values and principles.

    Not only do we support Sunak because he is a Hindu, but also because, like the Republican Hindu Coalition, he fully upholds our basic beliefs and its guiding principles: The Four F's: Free Enterprise with Limited Smaller Government, Fiscal Discipline, Family Values, and Firm Foreign Policy—Sunak is a genuine ally of the conservative movement, according to RHC.

    Sunak's supporters are pleading with Conservative Party members who will cast ballots by mail and online throughout this month to assess the 42-year-old by his track record of helping families during the COVID-19 pandemic crisis while serving as the UK Chancellor.

    Sunak's supporters urged Conservative Party members who would be casting postal and online ballots this month to evaluate Sunak based on his track record of helping families weather the COVID-19 pandemic catastrophe while serving as the UK Chancellor.

    My whole support and RHC go to Rishi Sunak. Sunak will achieve tremendous success as the future PM of the UK. Shalabh Kumar, the organization's founder, chairman, and CEO claimed that Sunak is advantageous for not only the United Kingdom but also its vital partners, the United States and India.

    We urge all conservatives to support Rishi's bid for UK PM to the fullest extent permitted by British NEC regulations, as well as the one billion Hindus worldwide.

    Sunak, a devout Hindu, attends the temple where he was born in Southampton and will be the first Chancellor to light Diwali diyaas outside 11 Downing Street in November 2020.

    His daughters, Anoushka and Krishna, are also deeply rooted in Indian culture, and he recently shared how Anoushka performed Kuchipudi with her classmates at Westminster Abbey for the Queen's Platinum Jubilee celebrations.

    Until his departure in July, which prompted the resignation of his former boss, caretaker British Prime Minister Boris Johnson, Sunak had to endure criticism from his opponents over his performance as Chancellor.
