Overview

  • Sarma has accused Congress MP Gaurav Gogoi and his British wife, Elizabeth Colburn, of ties to Pakistan’s ISI based on her alleged 19 trips between India and Pakistan.
  • The chief minister said roughly 1,000 social media accounts suspected of links to Pakistan and Bangladesh are now under Assam police investigation.
  • He warned that backing Congress equates to supporting Pakistan and predicted the BJP will sweep the 2026 polls on the strength of development programmes and Prime Minister Modi’s appeal.
  • Gogoi, who acknowledged a 2013 visit to Pakistan before becoming an MP, has denied current allegations and urged Sarma to publish investigation details ahead of schedule.
  • A Special Investigation Team is slated to release its findings on September 10, when Sarma intends to present documentary evidence of foreign interference.
