Festival of slight: No 10 sorry for Diwali 'mistake'
November 16, 2024

Meat and alcohol served at No 10’s Hindu celebration
Downing Street has been forced to apologised to British Hindus after meat and alcohol were served at an annual Diwali celebration. No 10 said that a “mistake” had been made and pledged “it will not happen again”.
Hinduism does not have a clear prohibition on alcohol or meat consumption, but many Hindus choose not to drink and some are also vegetarian. The October event sparked a series of complaints, including from Shivani Raja, the Conservative MP for Leicester East, who said she was “greatly concerned” and “deeply saddened”.
