He broke down in Hindi by saying, "You are all my family," in that language. “We are aware of the value of UK-India relations. When asked by CFIN co-chair Reena Ranger about the bilateral relationship, she replied, “We represent the living bridge between our two countries.

We are all well aware of the potential for the UK to do business and sell goods in India, but he continued, "We need to look at that relationship differently because in the UK we can learn a lot from India.

He said that this is not just a one-way relationship, it is a two-way relationship and I want to make such a change in that relationship. “I want to make sure that it is easy for our students to travel and learn in India as well, that it is also easy for our companies and Indian companies to work together,” he said.

With regard to China, the former minister reaffirmed his position that the defenses against Britain's aggression should be "very strong". We must be aware of the fact that China and the Chinese Communist Party are the biggest threats to our national security and, consequently, to our economy in recent memory, he said.

The former minister made a grand entrance to the Dhamecha Lohana Center in Harrow amidst the beat of drums and thunderous applause. After speaking briefly, he spent hours with hundreds of Tory members who lined up to shake hands.

Elders in the crowd blessed him, others patted him on the back, and eight-year-old Tanish Sahu took a special photo of him holding Sunak in his arms.

Most of the people in the room admitted that they had already voted for Sunak online and attended this latest event to hear him again.

A suspected British Indian investment banker expressed his indecision, saying he did not fully support the craze of the bounce back loan program implemented after the COVID-19 lockdown, which has been "misused" by many. But he also acknowledged that Sunak may eventually win his support because he was not completely persuaded by Foreign Secretary Liz Truss, a rival of the leadership.

However, the majority believed that Sunak's ethnic background and Indian ancestry had no bearing on the race to succeed Boris Johnson as leader of the Conservative Party and as British Prime Minister.

 "It's not racist in this country. It's a testament to the importance of merit for Sage to get to this point," said veteran Tory colleague Lord Dolar Popat.
