Australia. During the last several years, Indians have established their presence around the world, for example, after Google CEO Sundar Pichai, British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak and US Vice President Kamala Harris, now Daniel Mookhey has become the Finance Minister (Treasurer) of any Australian state. First became a politician. Mukhi, a practicing Hindu, took oath on Tuesday taking the holy Bhagavad Gita as his witness.
For information, let us tell you that The Australia Today reported that Daniel Mookhey was sworn in along with New South Wales (NSW) Premier Chris Min and six other ministers. “Sworn in as Finance Minister of the great state of New South Wales,” Mookhey, 39, said in a statement. Thank you to the people of NSW for bestowing this honor and privilege.” He said, “I am incredibly honored to be the first Australian minister (in state or union) to take the oath of allegiance to office with the Bhagavad Gita as witness. Feeling honored and proud.
Significantly, Daniel Mookhey, who took the oath taking the Bhagavad Gita as witness, further said, “This is possible only because Australia is very inclusive and appreciative of the contribution of people like my parents. I was thinking about him during the swearing-in earlier today. Mukhi’s parents had migrated to Australia in 1973 from Punjab. Born in the suburbs of Blacktown, Mookhey holds three university degrees. There are currently 6.8 lakh Hindus living in Australia and the Hindu community ranks as the third largest religious community in the country.
