Leading NRI entrepreneur Rami Ranger on Tuesday was nominated to Britain's House of Lords for his outstanding service to the business fraternity, the Conservative Party and the public.
Former Prime Minister Theresa May had recommended Ranger's name for the peerage in her resignation letter.
Speaking to PTI, Ranger said, "I dedicate this honour to build friendship between India, Pakistan and Britain. I will work very hard to build bridges among various communities now living in Great Britain."
