Why UK’s Indian origin FM, Rishi Sunak is caught in crossfire over Infosys and wife’s Russia links

英国的印度裔财政大臣里希·苏纳克因印孚瑟斯及妻子与俄罗斯的联系而卷入争端

Infosys founder Narayana Murthy's son-in-law and the UK Chancellor of the Exchequer, Rishi Sunak, is facing criticism over the Russian presence of Infosys, where his wife Akshata Murthy has a share. He was grilled on a TV news channel, where he was asked why he himself is not following the sanctions, to which the UK MP said "I am an elected politician and I am here to talk about what I am responsible for. My wife is not." The interviewer then countered Rishi Sunak's argument and said that though his wife is not an elected politician but as a country, if the UK is asking its taxpayers to help Ukraine in the fight, his family might be potentially benefiting from Russia.

印孚瑟斯创始人Narayana Murthy的女婿、英国财政大臣里希·苏纳克因印孚瑟斯仍在俄罗斯经营而面临批评，他的妻子Akshata Murthy拥有印孚瑟斯的股份。

他在接受一个电视新闻频道的采访时被问及为什么他自己不遵守制裁，这位英国议员回答说：“我是一名政客，我来这里是为了谈论我应该对什么负责。但我的妻子不需要。”

采访者随后反驳了他的观点，称尽管他的妻子不是民选政客，但英国要求其纳税人帮助乌克兰，而他的家人可能会从俄罗斯受益。

以下是Youtube上印度网民的评论：

This is a significant news. It shows what direction things are going to go in the future. Tactics to pressurize India is  to pressurize Indian big tech companies to pull out their investments and engagements with Russia. That freedom of choosing diplomatic independence will not come free.

这是一个重要的消息，显示了事态未来的发展方向。向印度施压的策略是向印度大型科技公司施压，迫使它们从俄罗斯撤资，撤出俄罗斯。外交独立不太容易实现。

if INFOSYS is targated such a way having shares in Russia, then by similar logic, all British companies having links or shares either in China or Pakistan, should be targated in India as well?

如果印孚瑟斯因在俄罗斯有投资而被盯上，那么按照类似的逻辑，所有在中国或巴基斯坦拥有股份的英国公司，也应该被印度列为目标?

英国媒体不喜欢里希，因为他是一个印度裔却在英国拥有权力。他们千方百计想除掉他

these Indian news channels love to attach the adjective "Indian origin" to names of foreign biggies simply because they were once Indians or their parents are Indian

这些印度新闻频道喜欢给外国大人物的名字加上“印度裔”这个词，仅仅因为他们曾经是印度人，或者他们的父母是印度人

This is purely because india is not taking any sides, lets harass the ones of Indian origin

So sad to see the western nations so helpless

这纯粹是因为印度没有偏袒任何一方，他们就去骚扰印度裔

看到西方国家如此无计可施，真可悲

 Infosys is an Indian company. India has not put any sanctions on Russia. Don't the MPs questioning Rishi Sunak know that? He is British and not Indian. Why should he have to answer about the actions of an Indian company?

印孚瑟斯是一家印度公司。印度没有对俄罗斯实施制裁。质询里希·苏纳克的议员们不知道吗

他是英国人，不是印度人。为什么他要解释一家印度公司的行为?

Maanik Roda

Rishi, in my respectful thinking, shouldn't be grilled over his wife's property in Infosys - Russia.

I do know she brought it when no war erupted. Please have this thing in mind.

在我看来，不应该因为他妻子在印孚瑟斯有股份而质问他。

在战争没有爆发的时候她就有这个股份，请记住这这一点。

UK has lost it. They dont even understand the depth of their sanctions themselves. A multinational company is free to operate where it wants.

This seems pure work of pakistani ISI to defame /malign him so that he may not be able to hold the post and to weaken his position in govt so that he may not be able to hold important offices in future..

这似乎是巴基斯坦三军情报局搞的鬼，目的是诽谤他，这样他就可能无法担任这个职位，削弱他在政府中的地位，这样他以后就无法担任重要职位。

Who gives a crap about these people, they work for UK not India. We should be more concerned about the situation in our country rather then giving attention to these people.
