A fresh political storm engulfed Assam following CM Himanta Biswa Sarma’s bombshell claims of Pakistan ties against Congress MP Gaurav Gogoi, invoking an SIT probe. Gogoi, undeterred, branded the narrative a desperate bid to eclipse a scandalous 4,000-acre government land seizure tied to Sarma’s family.
In his rebuttal to IANS, Gogoi noted the irony of the CM referencing his own event. ‘Those allegations are pure fiction; Taxila was my destination—a historic learning hub, not a Pakistani hotspot as portrayed to dupe the masses.’
Explaining the Pakistan angle, he described a brief post-wedding visit with his wife for her NGO commitments. ‘Joined by international partners, we observed daily life—no meetings, no agendas beyond humanitarian understanding,’ Gogoi detailed.
On Zubin Garg’s tragic murder, Gogoi highlighted probe discrepancies: ‘Singapore’s insights contradict local claims; agencies seem intent on cover-ups.’
This escalating war of words signals heightened stakes in Assam’s BJP-Congress tussle, with land issues and personal attacks dominating discourse as public opinion sways.
