Gogoi trained in Pak, his wife worked for Pak agent Ali Tauqeer Sheikh: Himanta
In a shocking revelation, Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma has alleged that Assam Congress president Gaurav Gogoi was trained by Pakistani authorities during a visit to the neighboring country in 2013. The Assam CM further claimed that Gogoi’s British wife, Elizabeth Colburn, worked for Pakistani agent Ali Tauqeer Sheikh, a former adviser to Pakistan’s Planning Commission. These serious allegations have sparked a heated debate, with Sarma urging the Union Home Ministry to probe the matter.
According to Sarma, Gogoi’s visit to Pakistan in 2013 was not just a casual trip, but rather a deliberate attempt to receive training from Pakistani authorities. The Assam CM claimed that Gogoi’s visit was facilitated by the Pakistani government, and that he was trained on various aspects, including politics and governance. While the nature of the training is not clear, Sarma’s allegations suggest that Gogoi may have received guidance on how to further Pakistani interests in India.
Sarma’s allegations against Gogoi’s wife, Elizabeth Colburn, are equally serious. The Assam CM claimed that Colburn worked for Ali Tauqeer Sheikh, a Pakistani agent who has been accused of being involved in various anti-India activities. Sheikh, a former adviser to Pakistan’s Planning Commission, has been linked to several Pakistani intelligence agencies, including the Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI). The fact that Colburn allegedly worked for Sheikh raises questions about her involvement in Pakistani activities and whether she may have influenced Gogoi’s actions in any way.
The allegations against Gogoi and his wife have sparked a heated debate, with many questioning the veracity of Sarma’s claims. Gogoi has not responded to the allegations, but other Congress leaders have come out in his defense, dismissing Sarma’s claims as baseless and politically motivated. However, Sarma remains adamant that his allegations are true and that the Union Home Ministry should investigate the matter.
The Union Home Ministry has not commented on the allegations, but it is likely that the ministry will take Sarma’s claims seriously. The ministry has been cracking down on anti-India activities, and any allegations of Indian citizens receiving training from Pakistani authorities or working with Pakistani agents are likely to be taken seriously.
The allegations against Gogoi and his wife have also raised questions about the Congress party’s involvement with Pakistani agents. While there is no evidence to suggest that the Congress party was involved in Gogoi’s visit to Pakistan or his wife’s alleged work with Sheikh, the allegations have sparked concerns about the party’s links with Pakistani agents.
In recent years, there have been several instances of Indian politicians and businessmen being linked to Pakistani agents. In 2019, a former Indian diplomat was accused of working with Pakistani intelligence agencies, and several Indian businessmen have been linked to Pakistani agents involved in anti-India activities. The allegations against Gogoi and his wife have raised concerns that the problem may be more widespread than previously thought.
The allegations against Gogoi and his wife have also sparked a debate about the need for greater transparency in Indian politics. Many have argued that Indian politicians should be more transparent about their foreign links and that any allegations of involvement with foreign agents should be thoroughly investigated. The Union Home Ministry’s response to Sarma’s allegations will be closely watched, and any investigation into the matter is likely to be widely publicized.
In conclusion, the allegations against Gogoi and his wife have sparked a heated debate about the involvement of Indian politicians with Pakistani agents. While the veracity of Sarma’s claims is not clear, the allegations have raised serious questions about the links between Indian politicians and Pakistani agents. The Union Home Ministry’s response to the allegations will be closely watched, and any investigation into the matter is likely to be widely publicized.
As the debate continues, one thing is clear: the allegations against Gogoi and his wife have raised serious concerns about the involvement of Indian politicians with Pakistani agents. The need for greater transparency in Indian politics has never been more pressing, and any allegations of involvement with foreign agents should be thoroughly investigated.
