British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak on Saturday extended Diwali wishes to all those celebrating around the UK and the world. He also extended greetings to the Sikh community for the Bandi Chhor Divas.
Sunak said that his “guiding light” as prime minister is the determination to change things for the better and as a symbol of the triumph of light over darkness.
“With the lighting of the Diyas, let this be a moment we can look to the future with hope. My guiding light as Prime Minister is the determination to change things for the better, and as a symbol of the triumph of light over darkness, I believe Diwali is a poignant representation of the endeavour for a brighter tomorrow,” the prime minister said in a statement.
He also added that as Britain’s first Asian prime minister and a devout Hindu, he hopes that Diwali can be a celebration of the ethnic and cultural diversity in the United Kingdom.
“As your first British Asian Prime Minister, and a devout Hindu, I also hope this can be a celebration of the fantastic ethnic and cultural diversity which makes the UK the place it is today,” Sunak said.
On Thursday, Sunak, along with his wife Akshata Murthy, had hosted a special event at 10 Downing Street on the occasion of Diwali. A large number of people had joined the two in the celebration.
