Himanta Alleges Gaurav Gogoi, Wife's 'Deeper Connection' with Pak Agent, FCRA Violation

  • Assam CM Himanta Biswa Sarma accused Congress MP Gaurav Gogoi, his British wife Elizabeth Colburn, and Pakistani national Ali Tauqeer Sheikh of a "deeper connection" and passing secret information to Pakistan.
  • Sarma alleged FCRA rules were violated as Colburn's salary was paid by Sheikh while she worked in India for LEAD Pakistan and later LEAD India.
  • The CM claimed Gogoi made a "very confidential" visit to Pakistan in 2013, possibly for "training," and later asked sensitive questions in Lok Sabha.
  • Sarma recommended a national probe by the MHA, stating Assam Police cannot investigate the international conspiracy.
  • Gaurav Gogoi dismissed Sarma's press conference as a "super flop" and "worse than a C-grade cinema," calling the allegations "mindless and bogus."
