Rishi Sunak is trying to replace Boris Johnson as British Prime Minister – may God forbid.

When Putin visited Infosys, Rishi Sunak’s father-in-law, Mr. N. R. Narayana Murthy, said, “Mr. Putin’s visit to India is an affirmation of the special relationship between our two countries. India and Russia share several common values and have already successfully leveraged each other’s strengths across various industry sectors. However, there are avenues that remain unexplored. In order to progress further, we must focus on greater co-operation between the two nations. This calls for open-mindedness and a careful analysis of the economic benefits for the two nations. As our bilateral relations expand in scope and depth, surely Information Technology will be one of the areas in which both countries can collaborate for talent and knowledge.” https://web.archive.org/web/20220420100524/https://www.infosys.com/newsroom/press-releases/2004/putin-visits-infosys.html Similarly, and more recently, Kamala Harris’ uncle called Russia and India “steadfast friends”. https://miningawareness.wordpress.com/2020/08/21/kamala-harris-uncle-called-russia-steadfast-friends-after-russia-annexed-crimea And, India has refused to criticize Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and has no qualms about Russian energy, which funds the war.

Infosys was still operating in Russia, as recently as the end of June, after only announcing their departure in April, following media exposure and public outrage. Additionally “Infosys has connections to Russia’s Alfa-Bank – Russia’s fourth-largest financial institution, and one of the targets of British sanctions.”, according to the following article: “Sunak fact-checked: How the Chancellor’s family is benefitting from the Putin regime” RISHI SUNAK was caught in an awkward exchange last week when he was forced to deny “family links” to Russian banks. So is the Chancellor’s family benefitting from the Putin regime? Express.co.uk fact checks the claims“.

Almost 2 months after Infosys said they were “urgently” shutting their Russia office, as of June 26th, they were still there: “IT company Infosys is transitioning its team of less than 100 people from Russia to projects outside the country, a top official of the company said on Saturday.” https://web.archive.org/web/20220630074308/https://www.businesstoday.in/latest/corporate/story/infosys-has-team-of-less-than-100-in-russia-transitioning-them-outside-ceo-parekh-339217-2022-06-26

In his campaign to replace Boris Johnson as Conservative (Tory) Party leader and PM, Rishi Sunak says: “My family is EVERYTHING to me!” https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2022/jul/08/rishi-sunaks-man-of-the-people-narrative-is-going-to-need-more-work

When Rishi Sunak says that “Family is everything” to him, that presumably includes his Infosys heiress wife, who claims to be domiciled in India for tax purposes, and his Infosys founder/Chairman Emeritus father-in-law, NR Narayana Murthy, who was “so enthusiastic about Sunak’s parliamentary career that he’d flown in, and had even been leafleting on his behalf, wearing a Rishi sweatshirt…” https://web.archive.org/web/20220128212415/https://www.tatler.com/article/rishi-sunak-chancellor-of-the-exchequer-feature

Infosys has contracts with the British Government, including non-competitive bid contracts. Rishi Sunak held a US green card (residency permit) until 2021: “Chancellor Rishi Sunak held US green card until last year” Published 8 April, 2022. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-61044847 His wealthy wife remains a citizen of India and a resident of India for taxation purposes.

Press Release:
“President of The Russian Federation, H.E Mr. Vladimir. V. Putin visits Infosys Campus Bangalore, December 5, 2004
H.E Mr. Vladimir V. Putin, President of The Russian Federation visited the corporate headquarters of Infosys Technologies Limited, a global IT consulting and software services company, today. Mr. N. R. Narayana Murthy, Chairman and Chief Mentor of Infosys Technologies welcomed him to the campus. During the hour-long visit, accompanied by a business delegation and the Russian media, Mr. Putin met with the senior management of the company. Mr. Nandan M. Nilekani, CEO, President & Managing Director, Infosys Technologies, provided an overview on the Indian IT industry and the company to the President.

Thereafter, Mr. Putin was taken on a tour of the campus, which included a visit to Infosys’ Global Management Centre, which offers world-class facilities for Infrastructure Management to Infosys’ clients. He also addressed a gathering of young Infoscions, in which he emphasised the need for India and Russia to work together on innovative new technologies.

Earlier, welcoming the President to Infosys, Mr. N. R. Narayana Murthy, Chairman and Chief Mentor, said, “Mr. Putin’s visit to India is an affirmation of the special relationship between our two countries. India and Russia share several common values and have already successfully leveraged each other’s strengths across various industry sectors. However, there are avenues that remain unexplored. In order to progress further, we must focus on greater co-operation between the two nations. This calls for open-mindedness and a careful analysis of the economic benefits for the two nations.

Infosys was founded by the father-in-law of Rishi Sunak (NR Narayana Murthy) in 1981. It has a “market value of about $100bn” and “has strong historical links with Russia and Putin”. His wife collected £11.5 million in dividends from Infosys over the course of the past year. See: https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2022/mar/28/sunak-under-pressure-over-wifes-russia-related-blood-money-dividends While claiming that they would “urgently” leave Russia back in April, Infosys were still in Russia as of June 26th, over four months after Russia invaded Ukraine.

Former corporate raider, Sunak, who came under pressure regarding Infosys “Blood Money” from Russia, appears to have orchestrated a corporate raider-like coup against Boris Johnson, which could allow Sunak to undermine sanctions against Russia to the apparent benefit of his in-laws and wife (and ultimately his children and himself). India replaced British suzerainty with Soviet and Russian suzerainty. https://miningawareness.wordpress.com/2020/08/21/kamala-harris-uncle-called-russia-steadfast-friends-after-russia-annexed-crimea/ The KGB knew how to flatter Indira Nehru Gandhi, starting when her father (Nehru) was Prime Minister: “Indira’s India and the KGB: A charm offensive against Mrs Gandhi, agents in the media and the government, attempts to buy influence in Congress — in the second volume of the astonishing Mitrokhin archive Christopher Andrew reveals how the KGB targeted India” by Christopher Andrew Saturday September 17 2005, 1.00am, The Times THE MITROKHIN ARCHIVE, VOLUME II: THE KGB AND THE WORLD by Christopher Andrew and Vasili Mitrokhin https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/indiras-india-and-the-kgb-3c5hp98xttm
