Rishi Sunak officially becomes UK PM after meeting King


London, Oct 25 (IANS): Indian-origin Conservative party politician Rishi Sunak on Tuesday officially became the Prime Minister of UK after meeting King Charles III at Buckingham Palace, the media reported.

In his first address as the Prime Minister, Sunak said: "UK is under economic distress... economic stability tops my agenda... my actions will speak louder."

"I will give my all to help the people... hope to live up to the demands," he added.

Sunak will be the UK's third leader in seven weeks after winning a Tory leadership contest triggered by Liz Truss stepping down as the prime minister, the BBC reported.

After being selected by Tory MPs on Monday, he warned the country faced a "profound economic challenge".

Sunak ruled out an early general election, despite calls from Labour, the Scottish National Party, the Liberal Democrats and the Green Party.

    Indians are proud of an Indian origin person becoming a head of the state of another country. Must watch and see for how long it will last with more 75% of the population and opposition demanding general election by the end of this year.?????. Enjoy while it lasts.

    Rishi Sunak is not of Indian origin. He was born and brought up in England. His parents and grand parents were born in Kenya and Tanganyika. He is a Hindu African lineage. There is nothing to be proud of. I read somewhere Pakistani's are celebrating by claiming he is of Pakistani origin.

    A proud moment for the many millions for the peoples of Indian origin. Hope Rishi's time as premier will bring about a better relationship between the East & the West, and greater understanding in uniting the human race for a better tomorrow, with equal opportunities for all.
