PM Modi celebrated Diwali in Kargil
- Ever since Narendra Modi took over as Prime Minister in 2014, he has made it a tradition to celebrate Diwali with our soldiers every year. He celebrated Diwali this year in Kargil, Kashmir.
- Prime Minister Modi celebrated his first Diwali since taking over as the country's Prime Minister in 2014 with soldiers at Siachen, the world's highest battlefield in the Himalayas. The following year, in 2015, he celebrated with the players at the Punjab border.
- In 2016, the Prime Minister celebrated Diwali with the Indo-Tibetan Border Police in Himachal Pradesh, in 2017 in Bandi Bora, Jammu and Kashmir, in 2018 in Harsil, Uttarakhand, in 2019 in Rajouri, a border control area in Jammu and Kashmir, in 2020 in Jaisalmer, Rajasthan, and in 2021 in Navshera, Jammu.
- Procedures to elect a new leader of the ruling Conservative Party and the country's new prime minister have begun. Former Prime Minister Boris Johnson and Indian-origin Rishi Sunak, former Finance Minister, were in the running for the post of Prime Minister.
- Speaker of the House of Commons Benny Mordant (age 49) has jumped into the campaign by announcing his candidacy. However, with just hours to go before filing his nomination papers, Boris Johnson announced his decision to withdraw from the race.
- Rishi Sunak has the support of 142 MPs in Parliament. Benny Morton has yet to secure the support of 100 MPs. Rishi Sunak will take over the Prime Ministership unopposed if Benny Morton cannot get the support of 100 MPs by 2pm today UK time.
- In this situation, Benny Martand did not get the support of 100 MPs so he could not qualify for the Prime Ministerial race. Thus, for the first time in the history of England, Rishi Sunak, who is of Indian origin, was elected unopposed as the Prime Minister of England.
