British PM Keir Starmer is being accused of giving concrete effect to the sentiments of Hindus. In fact, Hindus living in Britain have accused Starmer that non-veg and liquor were also kept in the Diwali celebrations held at his house.
British Hindu Organization 'Insight UK' Has expressed objection regarding this. Insight UK has said that proper opinion should have been taken before holding such a religious event. PM Starmer had organized Diwali celebrations at his official residence 10 Downing Street.
Insight UK posted on social media that Diwali is not just a festive time, but has deep religious significance. Diwali is a festival of purity, hence non-veg food and alcohol should be avoided.
Lack of understanding and respect for religious traditions
Hindu organization Insight UK said PM Starmer's choice of menu at his Diwali celebrations shows a lack of understanding and respect for religious traditions. The organization raised questions about whether religious leaders were contacted before organizing the ceremony. Insight UK described this people's lack of understanding towards spirituality.
The organization suggested that more consideration should be given to the cultural and religious traditions of communities before organizing such events in the future. Religious writer Pandit Satish Sharma said on this matter that even if it happened by mistake, it is disappointing.
At the same time, many Hindu organizations have also expressed objection to receiving invitation to the program. Leaders, professionals and parliamentarians from the British Indian community were invited to the event held on 29 October. During this, PM Starmer had lit lamps at the door of 10 Downing Street.
