Assam Congress Accuses CM of Misleading Public Over Gogoi Allegations
The Assam Congress party is accusing the state's Chief Minister of not telling the truth about claims that a Congress leader, Gaurav Gogoi, has links to Pakistan.
The Congress says the Chief Minister promised to release a report from a special investigation team (SIT) about this by September 10, but he hasn't.
They are asking him to show the proof he says he has, and they question why Mr. Gogoi is still free if these claims are serious.
The Congress believes these accusations are just a trick to make people forget about the government's problems.
They also mentioned another case about a famous artist, Zubeen Garg, to say the government is using investigations to distract people.
Assam Congress accused Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma of misleading the public regarding allegations linking Congress leader Gaurav Gogoi to Pakistan.
APCC vice-president Naba Talukdar stated that Sarma's allegations are baseless and that the Chief Minister has failed to make a promised SIT report public.
The Congress questioned why Gaurav Gogoi was still free if the allegations of links to Pakistan were true, implying a lack of evidence.
Talukdar claimed the allegations are politically motivated and intended to distract from the government's failures.
Congress drew parallels to the Zubeen Garg death case investigation, suggesting selective use of SIT probes to divert public attention.
