Assam CM Himanta Biswa Sarma Ramps Up Attack On Cong Mp Gaurav Gogoi | English News | News18

The move comes days after Assam chief minister Himanta Biswa Sarma targeted Gogoi, the son of former chief minister Tarun Gogoi, on social media platforms insinuating that the Congress leader’s wife and her work with the Pakistan national’s organisation had led him (Gaurav Gogoi) to raise questions about India’s nuclear program and defence issues in parliament.

“The Assam Cabinet notes its concern regarding the explicit involvement of a Pakistan-based leader and actor of a climate action group in the matter concerning India’s internal affairs thereby raising serious questions on its actual intentions and operations,” Sarma said following the Cabinet meeting.

The CM was referring to Ali Tauqeer Sheikh, founder of Lead Pakistan, a non-profit organisation working in the field of climate change. He said that Elizabeth Gogoi was an integral part of Lead Pakistan during her time spent in Islamabad.
