In a bold political maneuver, Assam CM Himanta Biswa Sarma revealed Tuesday that the SIT investigating Congress MP Gaurav Gogoi’s purported Pakistan connections will unveil its report on February 8 morning. The cabinet’s decision aims to uphold utmost transparency, quelling speculation in this high-stakes saga.
Sarma lambasted Gogoi, pointing to his ‘questionable’ remarks that allegedly echo Pakistani narratives. This isn’t the first time; the CM has consistently highlighted these red flags, fueling a bitter partisan clash. The BJP insists the inquiry safeguards public interest and national integrity.
Gogoi fired back, dismissing the allegations as politically motivated smears designed to overshadow real issues like development and administration. The Congress party alleges misuse of official probes to target opposition voices, especially with elections looming.
Formed amid public outcry, the SIT has navigated a storm of support from BJP allies and skepticism from critics questioning its impartiality. Sarma’s announcement positions the government as open and accountable, promising that the report’s disclosure will let the truth emerge unfiltered. Assam’s political arena braces for potential fireworks as February 8 approaches.
