Indian-origin British Lawmaker Rishi Sunak is going strong in the race to become the next Prime Minister of the western country. With each round, Rishi's support is getting increased and the experts are saying that Rishi is already in a comfortable zone and he has a high chance of making it to the supreme position if the same trend continues.
As he earlier served as the Finance Minister of Britain, Rishi Sunak has a better understanding of the nation and its finances. This is his big advantage and he might continue the stand of Boris Johnson on the Russia-Ukraine issue. The UK has sent supplies and other help to the war-hit Ukraine.
Though he is in a good position, the alleged controversy surrounding his wife is a big setback for him. Rishi Sunak's wife Akshata is accused of escaping tax payment as her roots are from India. He addressed the issue and made it clear that there is no controversy.
Rishi Sunak said that rules are different for his wife as she hails from another country and that doesn't mean she is suing the rules to avoid the tax payment.
Stressing the point that his wife paid the taxes though she has the chance of avoiding it, Rishi Sunak said his wife has nothing to do with the tax issues and she is fair on her part and urged everyone to not drag her into the issue.
On the same occasion, Rishi Sunak also showered praises on his in-laws and said that he is proud of them for what they have done these years. "There is a commentary about my wife's family's wealth. So, let me just address that head on because I think it's worth doing because I'm actually incredibly proud of what my parents-in-law built," Rishi Sunak said.
Like how the former Prime Minister Boris Johnson is accused of many wrongdoings in money matters, Rishi Sunak's wife is also facing allegations that with the help of the rules, she is not paying her taxes. The money matters are being seen in a magnifying glass in the nation right now that Boris was forced to resign. Rishi doesn't want to go through the same and is trying to put an end to the situation in the early stage itself.
