London, Oct 25 (PTI) Rishi Sunak becoming UK’s Prime Minister is “our Barack Obama moment,” said the leader of a Hindu temple that was set up by the Indian-origin leader’s grandfather.
Sunak, 42, on Monday won the race to lead the Conservative Party and is now set to become Britain’s first prime minister of Indian origin.
The Vedic Society Hindu Temple in Southampton, nearly 110 km from south-west of London, was established by Sunak’s grandfather Ramdas Sunak, in 1971, with his father, Yash, continuing his connection as a trustee during the 1980s, The Independent newspaper reported.
