In a heated exchange that has captured political attention, Congress leader Gaurav Gogoi retaliated against Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma's allegations regarding his wife's ties with the Pakistan Army. Sarma's claims come amidst a period when the nation stands unified against external forces from Pakistan.
