Washington:
Kash Patel of Indian origin has taken oath as the ninth director of the US Bureau of Investigation (FBI) on Friday. The manner in which he took oath is now being discussed all around. Actually, when Kash Patel came to take oath as the new director of FBI, he had a Bhagavad Gita in his hand. While taking the oath, he put his hand on the Bhagavad Gita and then took the oath. Everyone liked his style. Let us tell you that American Attorney General Palm Bondi has administered the oath to Kash Patel at the Egyptian Executive Office Building. Patel’s girlfriend and his family members were also with him on this occasion. Kash Patel is the first person of Indian origin to reach this post.
After taking the oath, Kash Patel said that I am living an American dream and whoever thinks that the American dream is dead, see it here. You are talking to the first generation Indian who is going to lead the law enforcement agency of the greatest nation on earth. This cannot happen anywhere else.
