Gaurav Gogoi will probably flee abroad soon: Assam CM Himanta Sarma

Assam CM Himanta Sarma alleges Congress MP Gaurav Gogoi's family are "foreigners" and predicts he will flee abroad soon, escalating their political feud.

"What wisdom can someone offer us when three members of his family are foreigners? I consider such a person to be a Bangladeshi foreigner - Himanta Biswa Sarma"

Guwahati, September 5

Launching a scathing attack on the Congress MP Gaurav Gogoi, Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma said that there is no point in reflecting upon the views of the opposition leader as most of his immediate family members are "foreigners".

Speaking to reporters, Sarma said that earlier he used to give importance to Gaurav Gogoi, "But later, when I came to know that his children and wife are foreigners, I realised that he (Gaurav Gogoi) too will probably flee abroad soon."

"What wisdom can someone offer us when three members of his family are foreigners? I consider such a person to be a Bangladeshi foreigner," he added.

CM Sarma has repeatedly levelled allegations against Congress leader Gogoi. Going back in May this year, Assam Chief Minister described him as a "deep-rooted Pakistani agent." The Assam Chief Minister claimed that Gogoi had only revealed 10 per cent about his visit to Pakistan and that he and his wife are deeply involved in anti-India activities.

Congress leader has rejected allegations made by the Chief Minister against him and said that these are all just "lies and slander".

In August, Congress MP Gaurav Gogoi also raised questions on the Himanta Biswa Sarma-led State government and sought to know why, despite the BJP government being in power for nearly a decade, there were infiltrators entering the State. The Congress leader stated that his party's stance was clear- no Bangladeshi should be illegally residing in the state.

"The Congress party's position is clear, no Bangladeshi should stay illegally in Assam. It is the duty of both the Assam government and the central government to ensure this. They have been in power for 10 years, and with border security under their watch, if infiltrators are still coming, then who is responsible?" Gogoi asked.

This is just political mudslinging. Instead of personal attacks, both leaders should focus on solving Assam's actual problems - border security, development, and employment. 🤦‍♀️

Gogoi raises a valid point - if BJP has been in power for 10 years, why are infiltrators still entering Assam? The government needs to answer this instead of making personal attacks.

As someone following Indian politics, this level of personal attack is concerning. Debate policies, not family members. This doesn't help Assam's development agenda.

Both sides need to behave responsibly. Border security is a serious issue that requires bipartisan cooperation, not political theatrics. Jai Hind! 🇮🇳

If Gogoi's family members are actually foreign citizens, he should clarify this publicly. Transparency is important for public representatives. But the CM should also provide evidence for his serious allegations.
