Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma and senior Congress leader Jairam Ramesh engaged in a spat on social media platform X over allegations against Gaurav Gogoi and his wife having links with Pakistan. The Chief Minister has called a Cabinet meeting on Sunday to form a Special Investigation Team (SIT) to look into the allegations. The state government is set to lodge an FIR against the Congress MP. The accusations revolve around Elizabeth Colbourn, a British national, and her extensive background working with entities allegedly linked to Pakistani intelligence agencies. The allegations have been denied by Gaurv Gogoa, who has called them part of a smear campaign ahead of Assam’s 2026 elections. He dismissed the charge of his wifehaving ISI ties as \”laughable\” and said that these claims were politically motivated. He added that he would welcome legal action against the Assam CM and the Jorhat MP who he accused of \”blatant corruption and black deeds\”
