With Britain having voted for a new government, there is change in the air for the United Kingdom. The Labour Party is returning to power after 14 years of Conservative rule and the newly elected Members of Parliament have taken their oaths. The United Kingdom has elected a few Indian origin MPs as well and one of them is in the news.
A video of Shivani Raja, a conservative party MP from Leicester East is getting viral in which she is taking her oath. Shivani Raja took her oath on the Hindu scripture Bhagavad Geeta. Netizens are respecting her decision and also applauding it.
Many users on X called it a mark of respect for the culture she belongs to. She herself shared the video on her social media. Shivani is a devout Hindu and has organized and been part of many Hindu events in Leicester.
At a time when many rejected Rishi Sunak for his identity, she ascertained her proudly and has been true to herself. Many Britishers find it objectionable but it is merely laughable because the country that preaches secularism seems afraid of their representative’s religious learnings.
