Rishi Sunak Over Criticism of Wife's Infy-Russia Link: 'At Least I Didn't Slap Anybody'

News 18  

Facing criticism over his wife Akshata Murthy’s family business links to Russia amid its invasion in Ukraine, her husband and British politician Rishi Sunak has said that “at least, I didn’t get up and slap anybody”. In an interview with BBC, Sunak said, “It’s very upsetting and, I think, wrong for people to try and come at my wife, and you know, beyond that actually, with regard to my father-in-law, for whom I have nothing but enormous pride and admiration for everything that he’s achieved.” He added that no amount of attempted smearing is going to make me change that because Narayana Murthy is wonderful and has achieved a huge amount. At the 94th Academy Awards, Will Smith walked up on stage and slapped comedian Chris Rock for a joke about his wife actor Jada Pinkett Smith’s closely cropped hair that is due to medical condition alopecia. Russia invaded Ukraine on February 24 and the invasion has triggered Europe’s largest refugee crisis since World War II, with more than four million Ukrainians leaving the country and a quarter of the population displaced.
