In a dramatic escalation of Assam's political tensions, Congress MP Gaurav Gogoi and Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma engaged in a bitter war of words over social media. This dispute began when Sarma, in a series of posts, accused Gogoi of visiting Pakistan for 15 days, a claim that stirred controversy and raised questions about Gogoi’s loyalty. Sarma further alleged that Gogoi’s wife received a salary from a Pakistan-based NGO, suggesting potential links to enemy entities. These allegations, especially in the context of the recent terror attack in Jammu and Kashmir’s Pahalgam district, added fuel to an already charged atmosphere.

In response, Gogoi swiftly posted on X (formerly Twitter), questioning whether Sarma would resign if he failed to prove the accusations against him and his wife. He also called on Sarma to clarify the citizenship status of his family and to answer questions about their alleged connections to Pakistan. This sharp rebuke from Gogoi emphasized the growing personal nature of the conflict, with both leaders bringing each other’s families into the fray.

Sarma, unfazed, reiterated his accusations and claimed that he had gathered substantial evidence to support his allegations. He pointed to an ongoing investigation by the Special Investigation Team (SIT) of Assam Police into the matter, with a deadline of September 2025 for revealing further information. Sarma’s statements about the involvement of his family in matters of national security added weight to the political back-and-forth, underscoring the sensitivity of the situation.

The controversy intensified when Congress MP KC Venugopal weighed in, accusing Sarma of using the "Pakistan bogey" to divert attention from his alleged corruption and political failures. Venugopal strongly defended Gogoi, calling the Assam CM's allegations "baseless" and "pathetic." In a fiery rebuttal, Sarma insisted that his questions were based on "verifiable facts" and were not personal attacks. He assured that more questions would follow as the investigation progressed.

This heated exchange between Gogoi and Sarma highlights the deepening rift within Assam’s political landscape. With elections looming in 2025, both leaders are using this controversy to rally their respective political bases. However, the use of personal and family-related attacks has also raised concerns about the nature of the discourse as the state braces for more revelations in the coming months.

The political ramifications of this spat are far from clear, but one thing is certain: the tensions between Gaurav Gogoi and Himanta Biswa Sarma are set to continue shaping the political narrative in Assam. As the investigation into the allegations unfolds, both leaders are likely to remain at the center of an ever-growing political storm.
