After 15 days, the British Prime Minister has finally apologized for one of his mistakes. Care Starmer has said sorry after the growing voice against the serving of non-veg and liquor at a party held in his house on the occasion of Diwali.
Non veg food alcohol at Diwali party: British Prime Minister Keir Starmer has finally apologized for serving non-veg and alcohol in his home event on the occasion of Diwali. Starmer's office apologised for the "mistake" at the party at 10 Downing Street at the Prime Minister's official residence--office on Friday. Some British Hindus had said that serving non-veg in this feast given by the PM was playing with the sentiments of Hindus.
A Downing Street spokesperson did not directly mention the mistake of serving non-veg in the event but made it clear that such an incident will not be repeated in the future. His team has assured the people of the Hindu community that such a mistake will not happen again.
"The Prime Minister was delighted to welcome the diverse communities celebrating Diwali in Downing Street. He commended the government for the enormous contributions made by the British Hindu, Sikh and Jain communities to our country and inspired by the shared values of hard work, ambition and aspiration, the spokesperson said. We understand the hurt on this issue and therefore apologise to the community and assure them that this will not happen again.
The statement from the Prime Minister's Office came a day after British Indian Conservative Party MP Shivani Raja sent a letter to Starmer expressing concern that the ceremony was not in line with the customs of many Hindus. "I think this is the dismal thing about this year's event – with a dismal lack of information about the customs and traditions beloved by many British citizens. "As a Hindu who represents thousands of Hindus in my constituency of Leicester East, I am deeply saddened to hear this.
