UK’s Indian-Origin Minister Rishi Sunak In Dock Over Wife’s Infosys Link With Russia
ABP NewsNew Delhi: Facing posers about the Russian presence of Infosys, the Indian software services company in which his wife Akshata Murty has a share, UK Chancellor of the Exchequer Rishi Sunak has stressed that the operations of individual companies was a matter for them. “It's been reported that you've got family links to Russia, that your wife apparently has a stake in the Indian consultancy firm Infosys,” PTI reported a ‘Sky News’ reporter as saying. Stating that he was giving the interview as “an elected politician” about what he is responsible for, Sunak said: “My wife is not.” He also rubbished posers on whether his family was “potentially benefiting” from Russian President Vladimir Putin’s regime. When asked if Infosys, which also has a UK presence, was sending a similarly “strong message”, Sunak said: “I have absolutely no idea because I have nothing to do with that company.” A statement issued by Infosys earlier said the multinational software services major “supports and advocates for peace” between Russia and Ukraine.
