Newly elected British Indian MPs took their oath of allegiance to the monarch in the lower house of the British Parliament, the House of Commons, by placing their hands on religious texts. Shailesh Vara, a former Conservative MP who lost the Cambridge seat in the recent general elections, presented Speaker Lindsay Hoyle with a new copy of the 'Bhagavad Gita'.

Among the British Indian MPs was Rishi Sunak, who took his oath as the leader of the opposition. Kanishka Narayan, a first-time MP of Indian origin, took his oath with the 'Gita'. He was elected from the Vale of Glamorgan on a Labour Party ticket. Shivani Raja, another Indian-origin MP elected from Leicester, also took her oath on the 'Gita'. Prominent Conservative leader and representative of Harrow East in London, Bob Blackman, who has chaired the All Party Parliamentary Group (APPG) for British Hindus, decided to take his oath with both the 'Gita' and the 'King James Bible'.

Several British Sikh MPs, including Tan Dhesi, and first-time MPs Gurinder Singh Josan, Harpreet Uppal, Satveer Kaur, and Varinder Singh Jas, opted to take their oaths on Sikh religious texts. Preet Kaur Gill took her oath holding a 'Sundar Gutka' wrapped in cloth.
