Guwahati, Sept 10: Congress leader and Jorhat MP Gaurav Gogoi has hit out at Assam chief minister Himanta Biswa Sarma for alleging that he and his wife were linked to Pakistan’s intelligence network.

Speaking to reporters, Gogoi dismissed the charges as “wild allegations” and said, “The chief minister thinks the people of Assam are foolish enough to believe such fabricated stories. This is an insult to the intelligence and wisdom of the people.”

He accused Sarma of diverting attention from his government’s failures, saying, “The people of Assam know he has built this story only to hide corruption, misuse of office, and the illegal wealth his family has accumulated.”

Gogoi asserted that public sentiment was shifting towards the Congress ahead of the next assembly polls. “No matter what Sarma says, there will be a strong wind of change. The people want a government that works for education, health, jobs, and local industries—not for personal gain,” he said.

Claiming that many of Sarma’s colleagues were deserting the BJP to join Congress, Gogoi added, “They don’t want to work in a corrupt party. Today, a huge number of people have joined us.”

Earlier, Sarma had vowed to “expose” Gogoi on September 10. The BJP leader has repeatedly alleged that Gogoi’s British-born wife, Elizabeth Colburn, visited Islamabad at least 18 times between 2010 and 2015 and had ties with a Pakistani national, Ali Tauqeer Sheikh, allegedly linked to Pakistan’s spy agency.
