GUWAHATI: Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma on Tuesday launched a scathing attack on Congress MP Gaurav Gogoi, alleging that his recent speech in Parliament “proved beyond doubt” that he acts on behalf of Pakistan.
Taking to X, Sarma wrote, “Speech delivered by our MP from Jorhat in Parliament yesterday proved beyond doubt that he acts on behalf of Pakistan. His secret trip and close ties with the Pakistani establishment speak volumes.”
The Chief Minister further claimed that Gogoi’s wife and both children hold foreign citizenship, suggesting that the Congress leader “can leave India any time.” “He is a disgrace to Assam and a betrayal of our pride as proud Indians,” Sarma added.
The remarks come a day after Gogoi, during a debate in Parliament on Operation Sindoor, criticised Defence Minister Rajnath Singh for not addressing key questions about the April 22 terror attack in Pahalgam, which left 26 dead. Gogoi also raised concerns over internal security lapses and questioned the government’s silence on the origin of the attack.
Sarma has repeatedly targeted Gogoi in recent months, accusing his wife, Elizabeth Colburn, of having links with Pakistan’s intelligence agency ISI—an allegation the Congress MP has strongly denied.
