Assam CM Orders Probe Into Congress MP's Wife Over Alleged Pakistan Links

Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma has directed an investigation into Elizabeth Gogoi's ties with a Pakistani national and her involvement in Indian election campaigns as a British citizen.

The Assam Cabinet has instructed the police to investigate Elizabeth Gogoi, wife of Congress MP Gaurav Gogoi, over alleged links with Pakistani national Ali Tauqeer Sheikh, founder of the NGO LEAD Pakistan.
Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma claims the investigation is necessary due to potential national security concerns, particularly in Assam, which has a history of ISI activity.
Elizabeth Gogoi is accused of participating in Indian election campaigns despite being a British national, potentially violating visa norms.
The inquiry will also examine Gaurav Gogoi's parliamentary questions on sensitive topics like nuclear programs and uranium deposits, which Sarma suggests could have been influenced by external factors.
Gaurav Gogoi has denied the allegations, calling them baseless and politically motivated, and has indicated plans to pursue legal action against the claims.
