Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma on Sunday claimed that Congress MP Gaurav Gogoi worked closely with the Pakistani establishment and said that the Congress leader went to Pakistan on the invitation of ISI.
Himanta further claimed that Gaurav Gogoi went to Pakistan on the invitation of the Pakistani government and received training in the country.
“He (Gaurav Gogoi) has gone to Pakistan on the invitation of Pakistan’s Interior Ministry and ISI is under the Interior Ministry… If this is not espionage, then what is? Then you come and protest against Rafale. You ask questions in Parliament, where has the security layer been built in the coastal route? Where is India’s nuclear weapon kept? Who wrote these questions for you? You have learnt them in the training programme. If I have said even one thing wrong, I will not remain the CM. If I have said even one thing wrong, I will not even go to my house,” Himanta Sarma said.
He further said that Gogoi’s alleged Pakistani links will be revealed by September 10.
“Reacting to the allegations, Gaurav Gogoi said that 99 per cent of what the Chief Minister is saying is “nonsense” and added that the CM remains insecure with him for the last 13 years. The Chief Minister can remain insecure with me as he has been for the past 13 years. For the Congress party we will focus on the dire economic situation of the state and the coal-drug mafia being run under political protection,” Gogoi said in a post on X.
“99% of what the Chief Minister has been saying is nonsense. He should put out the facts in public domain and stop hiding behind an imaginary September deadline. I doubt if even in September the Chief Minister can put out any concrete facts. I remember how during the Bharat Jodo Yatra in Assam he created a a fuss about a supposed “body double” of Rahul Gandhi,” he added in an another post.
On Saturday, the Assam chief minister had urged Congress leader Rahul Gandhi to drop Gaurav Gogoi from the list of four parliamentarians proposed by the opposition party for the delegations to be sent abroad to explain India’s stand on Pakistan-backed terrorism. Sarma said the MP from Assam should not be included in the all-party delegations in the interest of national security.
