Overview

• Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma alleges Congress MP Gaurav Gogoi visited Pakistan for 15 days, met with a Pakistani Army official, and stayed beyond his wife's return to India.
• Sarma accuses Gogoi of taking 90 youths to the Pakistani Embassy under false pretenses, claiming it was an attempt at radicalisation, with some participants reportedly unaware of the destination.
• The Assam Special Investigation Team (SIT) has completed its probe but awaits foreign documentation to substantiate claims, with findings expected by September 10.
• Sarma further alleges that Gogoi's wife, Elizabeth Colburn, has ties to Pakistan's Army, traveled between India and Pakistan 19 times, and received a salary from a Pakistan-based NGO.
• Gogoi and Mahila Congress leaders demand public apologies from Sarma for his remarks on women and his focus on personal and family matters, calling the claims baseless and politically motivated.
