The UK representative of a fugitive Hindu guru attended a glamorous Diwali party at the House of Lords earlier this year, after being invited by two senior Conservatives, the Observer has learned.
Atmadaya, the British representative for the controversial guru known as Nithyananda, was invited to the function by the MP Bob Blackman and the peer Rami Ranger. Nithyananda’s organisation also took out a full-page advertisement in an accompanying brochure which was handed out to attendees.
