Ever since Congress spokesperson Pawan Kheda has accused Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma’s wife of possessing three passports, his troubles have increased. Assam Police is currently searching for him in Delhi. According to reports, he is currently in Hyderabad. When journalists asked the Chief Minister of Assam about this matter, he said angrily, “You people do not know the Assam Police well. We will find him even from the depths of the underworld.”
When reporters pointed out that Pawan Khera had earlier released some documents, but today Mr Kharge has said—given that Sarma’s party is in power at the Centre—that he would instead ask the External Affairs Minister to clarify the truth, Mr Sarma responded sharply: “Is he crazy? If you didn’t know the truth, why did you publish it in the first place? You should have asked *earlier*. Have these people gone out of their minds?”
Is the Foreign Minister your son-in-law?
Chief Minister Himanta Sarma said, “Will you first harm people, and *then* say, ‘Oh no, before treating me, let me ask what is the solution’?” During this conversation, the Chief Minister also targeted the Congress President. He said, “Mr Kharge is much older, yet he talks like crazy. You people will insult others; you will disrespect them—and *then* you claim you will ask the External Affairs Minister? Is the External Affairs Minister your son-in-law?”
Himanta raised the question as to why Congress leaders presented false documents in the beginning. Why did he not contact the Foreign Minister first? Why didn’t Mr. Kharge go to him? Later, when a journalist said that it seemed like a game of ‘hide and seek’ had started, Sarma retorted, “Hide and seek? Absolutely not! You guys don’t know Assam Police very well. We will find him even from the depths of the underworld.”
This matter will reach only Rahul Gandhi: Sarma
He asserted, “Where does Pawan Kheda think he could hide? Even if he were in the underworld, we would still drag him out from there and ask: ‘Tell us—how did you create these documents?'” Sarma added, “I suspect that it was Rahul Gandhi who gave him these documents. This investigation will ultimately reach Rahul Gandhi—and don’t try to scare me.” Sarma concluded by saying, “This is Assam. We have fought and won at least seventeen battles against Islamic attackers.” We are people from different worlds.
