Jaipur/IBNS: Former UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak arrived in Rasjathan's Jaipur on Friday to attend the Jaipur Literature Festival, which began on Thursday.

During the five-day event, which will end on February 3, Sunak's wife Akshata Murty, and her mother, Sudha Murty, a renowned author and Rajya Sabha MP, are scheduled to participate in a session titled "My Mother, Myself".

The session will be held from 10 am to 10:50 am on Saturday, as per the schedule.
