'100% Pakistani agent': Himanta targets Congress MP Gaurav Gogoi again; alleges 'planted by foreign power'

NEW DELHI: Assam chief minister and BJP leader Himanta Biswa Sarma on Friday once again launched a sharp attack on his former party colleague and fellow Assamese leader Gaurav Gogoi , alleging that the Congress MP is “100 per cent a Pakistani agent.”

Speaking to reporters, Sarma said, “Congress MP Gaurav Gogoi 100 per cent Pakistani agent, he has been planted by foreign power.”

The Assam CM has repeatedly targeted Gogoi and his wife, Elizabeth Coulburn , in the past. In September, Sarma claimed that the SIT probing the alleged Pakistani links of the Gogoi family had uncovered “startling facts” suggesting a larger conspiracy to “undermine India’s sovereignty.”

Earlier this week, Sarma had also hit out at the Congress leadership over the Bangladesh anthem row, accusing Lok Sabha Deputy Leader Gaurav Gogoi of giving silent approval. “Instead of taking action, Gogoi seems quietly pleased. This is nothing short of endorsing Bangladesh’s claim over our land,” Sarma had said.
