Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma has made serious allegations against Congress MP Gaurav Gogoi about his visit to Pakistan. Sarma has claimed that Gogoi was invited by Pakistan’s intelligence agency ISI for training and he went to Pakistan on this invitation. He also said that he has documentary evidence of this journey, which he will soon make public. He has also urged the Congress to remove Gogoi from the anti -terrorism delegation.
Himanta Sarma alleged that Gaurav Gogoi’s wife Elizabeth also had a relationship with an NGO in Pakistan, allegedly related to ISI. Sarma said that Gogoi never criticized Pakistan, which raises questions on his credibility. He has also put the Congress party in the dock over Gogoi’s visit to Pakistan and his family’s relations. He says that all this is a threat to national security and should be seriously considered.
At the same time, Congress MP Gaurav Gogoi has completely rejected these allegations. He accused Himanta Sarma of political vengeance and said that all these allegations are “absurd and baseless”. Gaurav Gogoi called Sarma a “BJP troll of 500 rupees” and said that he should come up with facts and not spread rumors. He said that the Chief Minister is trying to obstruct his political journey.
This dispute may warm the political atmosphere before the Assam Assembly elections 2026. Both sides are trying to create their image among the public, giving their statements. The Congress questioned the government’s intention in this matter and described it as a strategy to target opposition leaders. At the same time, the matter is being described as a serious issue related to national security by BJP.
This entire incident has increased political temperature and there is a possibility of more rhetoric in the coming times. Such allegations and counter-allegations can lead to a new twist in the politics of Assam, which can also affect the assembly elections.
