India — Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma has repeatedly accused Congress MP Gaurav Gogoi of being a 'Pakistani agent' planted by a foreign power. Sarma claims to have evidence and has challenged Gogoi to file a defamation case, stating he will reveal the proof after the investigation into singer Zubeen Garg's death concludes. Gogoi and his party, the India — Indian National Congress, have vehemently denied these allegations, calling them baseless, politically motivated, and an attempt to divert attention from governance issues in India — Assam. The accusations center around alleged foreign links involving Gogoi's British wife, Elizabeth Colburn, which both Gogoi and Colburn have denied. This ongoing political feud highlights tensions between the India — Bharatiya Janata Party-led government in India — Assam and the opposition Congress.
