Indian-origin Rishi Sunak on Monday became the next Prime Minister of the United Kingdom after Boris Johnson and Lizz Truss vacated the office in quick succession. Arch-rivals India and Pakistan are on the cusp of history to share a pride as Rishi Sunak`s grandparents originated from British India, their birthplace being Gujranwala, which lies in modern-day Pakistan`s Punjab province. Hence, indirectly, and ultimately, the new UK PM is an Indian and a Pakistani at the same time. Rishi Sunak Set To Be UK’s Next Prime Minister After Winning Conservative Party Leadership Election

Rishi Sunak has Pakistan Connection Too:

The Sunaks are a Punjabi Khatri (trader) family from Gujranwala, now in Pakistan. Ramdas Sunak, #RishiSunak’s grandpa left Gujranwala to work as a clerk of British Colonialists in Nairobi in 1935. pic.twitter.com/BpF2MaWvmK
