Rishi Sunak, First Indian-Origin UK PM, Has Pakistan Connection Too; Know All About New British Prime Minister’s Ancestry

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
