当地时间10月25日，里希·苏纳克在白金汉宫接受英国国王查尔斯三世的正式任命，成为英国新任首相。

据俄罗斯卫星通讯社报道，苏纳克上任后，印度网友要求英国归还“光之山”钻石的声音再次高涨！

With the UK's first Indian-origin Prime Minister Rishi Sunak having taken charge of his new post, netizens are calling for the return of the 105.6 carat Kohinoor diamond, worth $591 million, which is set in the crown of the Queen Mother.

现在所有眼睛都盯着“光之山”！

India has long been demanding the return of the $591 million, 105-carat Kohinoor diamond that was placed in the crown of the Queen Mother. As per the Royal Collection Trust, the disputed diamond was “surrendered” to Queen Victoria in 1849 as part of the Treaty of Lahore by India’s last Sikh Emperor Maharaja Duleep Singh when he was 11 years old.

Tushar Gandhi, the great-grandson of Indian independence leader Mahatma Gandhi, called for the Koh-i- Noor to be handed back, saying: 'Returning it would be atonement for the colonial past.'

During a 2010 visit to India, then-Prime Minister David Cameron told local media that the diamond would stay in the United Kingdom.

“If you say yes to one [request], you suddenly find the British Museum would be empty... I'm afraid it's going to have to stay put," Cameron said.

Amid the controversy, the British media reported that the diamond will not be used in the coronation of Camilla on May 6, 2023 over concerns it may spark negative sentiments towards the UK, particularly in India.
