Bengaluru Traffic Could Help Us Get The Kohinoor From Rishi Sunak, Harsh Goenka Shares Plan

A tweet has gone viral on social media by industrialist Harsh Goenka suggesting how to get the Kohinoor diamond back to India from the UK.

With Rishi Sunak becoming the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, a lot is expected to improve between Indian and the UK on the economic front. While on the other side, some are taking jibes at the newly elected prime minister and also suggesting ways to bring back the Kohinoor to India.

Among them is RPG Enterprise's Chairman Harsh Goenka who shared one of the most bizzare ideas of bringing back the diamond back to India. 

Goenka took to Twitter and shared an idea apparently suggested by his friend.

He writes, "My friend’s idea to get back #Kohinoor:

1. Invite #RishiSunak to India.

2. Kidnap him when he is stuck in Bangalore traffic to visit his in-laws

3. Send instead Ashish Nehra as UK PM. No one will realise it.

4. Nehra will be told to pass the bill to return Kohinoor."

After the tweet was shared by Goenka netizens expressed their approval of the plan.

One Twitter user wrote, "Good idea but we don't need Kohinoor in this way every Indian origin and Indians are  Kohinoor for us one of is Rishi Sunak I am sure he will serve the UK well."

While another wrote,"@hvgoenka small question. who will train apne Nehra ji to speak English like Sunak."

"You have scripted a Bollywood blockbuster," wrote one user.

"Such a brilliant plan but its revealed so have to come up with another plan now," another user wrote.

The Kohinoor is a 105.6-carat diamond with a long and illustrious history. The diamond was discovered in India in the 14th century and passed through many hands over the centuries.

The diamond was given to Queen Victoria in 1849, following the British annexation of Punjab. Since then, it has been part of the British Crown Jewels, but it is still the subject of a historic ownership dispute between at least four countries, including India.
