<p>"Great to be with all of you at the Parsee Gymkhana Club at its anniversary celebrations. What an extraordinary achievement. So much history and so much exciting stuff to come. I managed not to get out too many times this morning," Rishi Sunak told reporters, according to the PTI.</p>
<p>He said he looked forward to more such visits.</p>
<p>The iconic Parsee Gymkhana was formed on February 25, 1885 with Sir Jamsetjee Jejeebhoy as its founder president and Jamsetjee Tata as chairman.</p>
<p>It moved to its current location along the picturesque Marine Drive in 1887.</p>
<p>In July, 2024, <a href="https://www.mid-day.com/news/world-news/article/prioritising-india-uk-ties-fta-in-focus-under-new-pm-keir-starmer-23360770" target="_blank" rel="none noopener"><strong>Britain&rsquo;s Labour Party</strong></a> had swept to power after more than a decade in opposition, as a jaded electorate handed the party a landslide victory &mdash; but also a mammoth task of reinvigorating a stagnant economy and dispirited nation, the news agencies had earlier reported.</p>
<p>Rishi Sunak had conceded defeat despite retaining his seat.&nbsp;</p>
<p>Labour leader Keir Starmer officially became prime minister, leading his party back to government less than five years after it suffered its worst defeat in almost a century.</p>
<p>In the merciless choreography of British politics, he took charge in 10 Downing St. hours after the votes were counted &mdash; after Conservative leader Rishi Sunak left and went to Buckingham Palace to offer his resignation to King Charles III.</p>
<p>Later, a record number of around 26 Indian-origin members of Parliament were elected to the House of Commons in the UK&rsquo;s general election after results were announced, with several Conservatives surviving an overall brutal outcome for their party, the news agencies had reported.</p>
