LONDON - Akshata Murthy, the wife of British finance minister Rishi Sunak, said on Friday that she would stop- bowing to pressure which her husband had earlier dismissed as a political smear.

The public anger over Murthy's tax status has been heightened by her husband's decision to increase payroll taxes at a time whenin 1956.

In a statement late on Friday, after two days of critical media coverage, Murthy said she would pay British tax on her global income, including dividends and capital gains, for the 2021/22 tax year and in future. Sunak has been touted as a successor to Prime Minister Boris Johnson, whose own position has come into question after widespread criticism over illegal parties held at Downing Street during Covid-19 lockdowns and a series of other scandals.
