New Delhi [India], February 13 (ANI): Congress MP from Jorhat Gaurav Gogoi fired shots at Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma, saying that the latter has been 'restless' and is having 'doubts' about his chair.

Gogoi criticism came after Himanta Biswa Sarma alleged that Congress MP's wife has ISI links.

'Assam CM's have been restless for past 3-4 months. There have been cases of corruption in his PWD department. These news of corruption has reached Delhi. He's having doubts that his CM's chair might be slipping out of the hand. In this restlessness of saving his chair he's doing that. If he had done work than he wouldn't have to take help of this disillusion and lies. That's his personal issues. We will do out work. We will raise the voice of people,' Gogoi told ANI.

Earlier, Assam CM Sarma has launched an offensive against Congress MP Gaurav Gogoi, raising questions over his wife's foreign citizenship and her having worked in Pakistan in past.

'Sooner or later, it will be known how foreign powers, led by George Soros' ecosystem, influenced a major decision of Assam Congress in 2014. The truth will emerge in due course,' Assam CM Sarma said on the reports linking Congress MP Gaurav Gogoi and his British wife Elizabeth Colbourn to the Pakistani Government and George Soros's Open Society.

'The couple needs to answer serious questions raised regarding close their links with the ISI and taking young impressionable minds to the Pakistan High Commission for brainwashing and radicalization, he said.

Moreover, Sarma further raised questions on the 'timing' of certain 'events' linked to the Congress MP's political actions and associations.

'In 2015, the Pakistani High Commissioner to India, Abdul Basit, invited a first-term Member of Parliament (MP) and his startup, Policy for Youth, to discuss India-Pakistan relations at the Pakistan High Commission in New Delhi,' Sarma claimed in a post on X without naming the deputy Leader of Opposition leader in the Lok Sabha.

Sarma pointed out that the MP was not a member of the Parliamentary Committee on External Affairs at the time, and raised concerns about the purpose of the meeting.

Meanwhile, the Congress MP shrugged aside all the allegations made by Sarma, stating that if his wife was accused of being an ISI agent, he might as well be called an R&AW agent.

'If my wife is an ISI agent of Pakistan, then I am an R&AW agent of India. I don't mind if a family against whom there are various cases and several allegations makes accusations against me. The Assam Chief Minister is making these allegations only to divert attention from the allegations against him,' Gogoi said. (ANI)
