Guwahati, Oct 31: Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma on Friday launched a scathing attack on Congress leader Gaurav Gogoi, alleging that he is a “Pakistani agent” planted by foreign powers.
Speaking to reporters, Sarma said, “Gaurav Gogoi is purely a Pakistani agent. He has been planted by foreign powers in India. If he has the courage, he should file a defamation case against me.”
The Chief Minister further claimed that he possessed “all the evidence” to substantiate his allegations. “I have 100 percent proof that he is linked to Pakistan. Once I make the evidence public, everyone will understand his connections. There is an election going on — otherwise, I would have taken stricter action. If I act now, people will say it’s politically motivated,” Sarma stated.
Reiterating his claim, Sarma added, “We have enough proof against Gaurav Gogoi. Some may think we have no documents, but I know what I have. I will act at the right time. As Chief Minister, I am saying he is a 100 percent planted person. I am not holding a press conference now because people will accuse us of diverting attention from the Zubeen Garg case.”
Later, taking to X (formerly Twitter), the Chief Minister wrote, “Assam Police’s SIT submitted its report on 10th September. The Assam Congress President is a compromised individual. We will reveal the facts at the right time. Even he knows the truth, which is why he will not pursue defamation against us.”
