Thiruvananthapuram: Former Union Minister and MP Shashi Tharoor had said to Kerala High Court that he had not acquired any assets of his late wife Sunanda Pushkar. He said he had not either individually or jointly acquire any asset with her son or anyone else as her movable and immovable assets are not yet “ascertainable or estimable.”
In an statement, Shashi Tharoor said, it was “absolutely false” that he had inherited the substantial portion of his wife’s wealth by virtue of the provisions of the Hindu Succession Act as she was a Canadian citizen.
He said that he had not acquired any assets— movable or immovable of his late wife Sunanda, either individually or jointly with her son or any other relative at the time of filing nomination papers from Thiruvananthapuram.
On a petition from Suresh Kumar, he said, “The movable and immovable assets of late Sunanda are not yet ascertainable or estimable and the right of succession to her estate is still uncertain.”
