Guwahati (Assam) [India], February 14 (ANI): Congress MP Gaurav Gogoi on Friday said that he will take appropriate legal action over the Bharatiya Janata Party’s “malicious and baseless” allegations against him and his wife, accusing them of having connections to the Pakistani government and George Soros’s Open Society, potentially compromising national interests.
This comes after Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma announced that the state cabinet will deliberate on the implications of recent revelations concerning an MP from Assam on national security.
Taking to X, Gogoi said that BJP has gone to “extreme measures” to defame him and his family. “Their allegations are malicious and baseless. I will be taking the appropriate legal action.” Congress MP wrote.
Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma has alleged that Gaurav Gogoi’s wife, Elizabeth Colbourn, has connections to the Pakistani government and George Soros’s Open Society. He also raised questions about the timing of certain events linked to Gogoi’s political actions and associations, including a 2015 meeting with the Pakistani High Commissioner to India.
The Assam CM has demanded that Gogoi and his wife answer serious questions about their alleged links to the ISI and their involvement in taking young minds to the Pakistan High Commission for “brainwashing and radicalisation.”
Earlier, CM Sarma raised questions over his wife’s foreign citizenship and her past work in Pakistan.
“Sooner or later, it will be known how foreign powers, led by George Soros’ ecosystem, influenced a major decision of Assam Congress in 2014. The truth will emerge in due course,” Sarma said.
“The couple needs to answer serious questions raised regarding closing their links with the ISI and taking young impressionable minds to the Pakistan High Commission for brainwashing and radicalization,” he said. (ANI)
