Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma has alleged that Congress MP Gaurav Gogoi and his British wife Elizabeth Colburn have links with Pakistani national Ali Tauqeer Sheikh, including claims of salary payments from Pakistan, multiple visits to Pakistan, and transmission of confidential reports. Sarma cited findings from a Special Investigation Team (SIT) and urged the Ministry of Home Affairs to take over the probe due to national security concerns. Gogoi has strongly denied the allegations, calling them baseless and politically motivated, and accused Sarma of deflecting from land-grab accusations against his family. The controversy has sparked protests and intensified political tensions ahead of Assam's assembly elections.
