Overview
- Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma on Nov. 3 repeated his claim that Congress MP Gaurav Gogoi is a “100 percent Pakistani agent” and said he would welcome a defamation case.
- Sarma said the Special Investigation Team report on the alleged links has been submitted to him and will not be released now to avoid diverting the Zubeen Garg death investigation.
- Gaurav Gogoi publicly challenged the CM to publish the report and take action if there is evidence, pointing to an earlier missed promise to disclose findings by Sept. 10.
- Assam Congress leaders Debabrata Saikia and Naba Talukdar accused the CM of making misleading political remarks and delaying the report, urging immediate transparency.
- The probe is reported to examine alleged contacts involving Gogoi’s wife and Pakistani national Ali Tauqeer Sheikh, yet no public evidence or formal charges have been produced.
