Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma has leveled serious allegations against Congress MP Gaurav Gogoi's wife, Elizabeth Colburn, concerning her connections with the Pakistan Army.

The Assam CM further accused Gogoi of visiting Pakistan in a personal capacity for 15 days, raising suspicions about his intentions. Sarma called for clarity, implying the need to discern whether Gogoi's visit facilitated any direct or indirect assistance to the Pakistan Army.
