Sarma insisted that his works are purely operated National security Interests, which cannot be compromised.
“You will be surprised in the coming months. I assure me that with all the responsibility inherent in me, it is not a witch. I too have served under Sri. Tarun GogoiAnd I fully understand the gravity of such tasks, “Assam CM said in response to a post on X by Congress MP Pradyat Boardolyo.
“What I am doing is entirely run by national security interests – an area where no compromise can happen. I have taken an oath to protect my nation’s safety and sovereignty, and I will maintain it, some It doesn’t matter, “Sarma was added.
The BJP is targeting Congress Deputy Leader Gaurav Gogoi in the Lok Sabha on Callbourne’s alleged ties with Pakistan’s spy agency. Sarma reiterated that protecting India’s security and sovereignty was his top priority. “This is a duty that moves politics and personal relations – it is about our country,” he said.
Congress hit back
Pradeet Boardolyo dismissed the allegations, accusing Sarma of indulging in “Schuldagari politics”. Meanwhile, Gogoi claimed that the controversy was promoted for the fear of the BJP to lose the 2026 Assam assembly elections.
The Assam Police on Monday formed a Special Investigation Team (SIT) to investigate the Pakistani National Ali Tauqir Sheikh on its social media comment on Assam and India’s internal affairs. Sheikh, an advisor to Pakistan’s Planning Commission and a former ally in Kalbourne, has been charged under the Joint Code of India (BNS) and the illegal activities (prevention) Act (UAPA).
No case against Gogoi, investigation in the role of campaign
Despite the allegations, the Assam cabinet decided not to register any case against Gogoi or Kalbourne, but directed the state police chief not to register an FIR against Sheikh. Additionally, the government plans to request a central inquiry in the role of Kalbourne in previous Lok Sabha campaigns in the role of Kalburn, where Gogoi won twice despite his British nationality.
Sarma softened his stance on Gogoi, suggesting that the Congress leader could be “stuck or blackmail” in a large “anti-India conspiracy”.
Last week, Sarma took the attack forward, seeking answers from Gogoi to respond to Gogoi on the allegations of ISI link, participation in radical efforts and to refuse Indian citizenship for 12 years. He also questioned whether Gogoi raised sensitive defense issues in Parliament after marrying Kalbourne, a claim was rejected by the Congress MP as “false charges”.
Gogoi ridiculed the allegations, called him “laughter and entertaining”, and accused the BJP of trying to discredit his family. He also vowed to take legal action against the allegations.
