Sunak had earlier spoken about how he felt proud to be a Hindu and how he had celebrated Raksha Bandhan with his siblings in August.

"I'm a proud Hindu, and that's how I was raised. That's how I am. Hopefully, I can visit a mandir while I'm here for the next couple of days. We just had Raksha Bandhan, so from my sister and my cousins, I have all my rakhis, and I didn't have time to celebrate Janmashtami properly the other day," he had said.
