‘C-grade movie plot’: Congress’ Gaurav Gogoi clarified his wife’s’ Pakistan link ‘; Assam CM Sarma says, ‘Truth will appear on September 10’ Bharat News

New Delhi: Congress leader Gaurav Gogoi on Wednesday called the Assam Chief Minister’s allegations about his British wife Elizabeth Kalbourne’s alleged relationship “C-Grede Bollywood film plot”.In his first public statement on the matter, Gogoi clarified that his wife spent only one year in Pakistan, while working on an international project centered on climate change in South Asia.“About 14–15 years ago, my wife-public policy, a famous expert in public policy, was involved in an international initiative addressing climate change in Asia. As part of that work, she spent a year in Pakistan and then came to India in 2012-13, where she has been working ever since. In 2015, he did a new job, ”said the Congress leader.He said, “I went with him about 12 years ago in 2013. The Chief Minister is trying to convert it into a C-grade Bollywood film with the so-called release date of September 10. This story is bound to flop completely. The people of Assam are already aware of the truth,” he said.Gogoi also questioned the time and intentions behind the allegations.“Our copy is: If, according to these allegations, my wife or I have done any wrongdoing or illegal work, then who has been in power for the last 11-12 years? The central agencies have been doing what at this time?He said, “As a leader of the opposition, who speaks boldly and openly in Parliament, my biodata is known to all,” he said.Reacting to Gogoi’s comments, Chief Minister Sarma welcomed the “entry” of the Congress MP and claimed that reliable evidence supports Gogoi’s allegations with Pakistani establishments.Sarma wrote on X, “Finally, Congress MP Mr. Gaurav Gogoi has admitted that he visited Pakistan. But we should be very clear – this is just the beginning, not the end.”“The one who lies further is far more serious. Every proper basis exists, supported by reliable input and documented information, to suggest that Mr. Gogoi has maintained closeness with the Pakistani establishment. The Assam government is committed to transparency and accountability, all that will end on September 10, which will end the special investigation team (SIT).Sarma said, “But people will not forget either – nor forgive – Congress party and Mr. Rahul Gandhi deliberately promoted a person with such dangerous and agreement in the public life of our country.”After Sarma, there is a statement that Gogoi visited Pakistan on “ISI’s invitation” and worked closely with the establishment.Sarma had claimed, “Gaurav Gogoi visited Pakistan at an ISI invitation. This is the first time I am publicly telling this. We have documents to support it. He did not go there for tourism. He went there to get training. ,He said that Gogoi, who is the Deputy Leader of the Congress in the Lok Sabha, traveled at the direct invitation of the Pakistani government, which called the journey “dangerous”.Sarma said, “He was working closely with the establishment of Pakistan. When does a home department issue an invitation?” Sarma said only to provide training. He said, “Invitation from the Department of Foreign Affairs or University is a completely different case. It was not from the Ministry of External Affairs or Cultural Department. He went to a direct invitation from the Home Department of Pakistan,” he claimed.
