Kash Patel, who took an oath on the Bhagavad Gita.

Washington: Kash Patel, an Indian-American, took an oath as the 9th Director of the FBI. Recently, after Donald Trump’s resounding victory in the U.S. presidential election, he nominated Kash Patel to the position of Director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI). In this context, a vote was held on Thursday, and Kash Patel won with a 51-49 vote margin in the U.S. Senate. Several people of Indian descent have already been serving in key positions in the U.S.

Kashyap alias Kash Patel, of Indian descent, took charge as the new Director of the FBI, swearing on the Bhagavad Gita. This style of taking an oath on the Bhagavad Gita by Kash Patel as the FBI Director has become a hot topic. While his girlfriend, Alexis Wilkins, held the Bhagavad Gita in her hands, Patel placed his hand on it while swearing in as the new FBI Director. Attorney General Pam Bondi administered the oath. Despite being abroad, Kash Patel has not forgotten his Indian traditions and roots, earning praise from the Indian community.

Kash Patel, of Indian descent, is a staunch supporter of Donald Trump, which is why Trump appointed him as the Director of the United States' top investigative agency. With this, Patel’s appointment was officially confirmed. A vote was conducted in the Senate, where Republicans hold the majority. However, unexpectedly, two Republican senators defied the party whip and voted against him. Senators Susan Collins and Lisa Murkowski from Maine and Alaska opposed Patel's nomination.
