Both leaders have registered bumper victory
Britain’s new Prime Minister Keir Starmer and Iran’s President Dr. Pezeshkian have registered bumper victory in their country’s elections. British Prime Minister Keir Starmer’s Labor Party has got 412 seats in the 650-seat parliamentary election. On the other hand, PM Sunak’s Conservative Party has faced a crushing defeat. Starmer was once known for his anti-India statements on Kashmir and many other issues. But now his stand has changed. He is now in favour of India and against Hinduphobia (those who hate Hindus). On the other hand, Iran’s newly elected President Dr. Pezeshkian defeated fundamentalist leader Jalili. Dr. Pezeshkian secured 28 lakh more votes than Jalili.
