Gaurav Gogoi Went to Pakistan on ISI’s Invitation: Assam CM Himanta Biswa Sarma
First Published: 18th May, 2025 16:49 IST
CM Sarma said, Gogoi had definitely visited Pakistan to receive training, or else why would ISI call him?
In a sensational revelation, Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma today said that Congress MP Gaurav Gogoi had visited Pakistan at the invitation of the Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI).
Speaking to media on the sidelines of the MoU Exchange Ceremony with investors, CM Sarma said the visit was not diplomatic or academic.
The Chief Minister said, “I want to clarify 3 things to the people of Assam today that Gaurav Gogoi visited Pakistan on ISI’s invitation. He had definitely visited Pakistan to receive training, or else why would ISI call him? He went there on an invitation from the country’s Home Ministry, not the External Affairs, Cultural Ministry; he went there at the invitation of the Pakistan Home Department. How dangerous it is. It is a very serious matter.”
Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma also said, “Being a Chief Minister, I have been repeatedly telling you all that we have documents regarding Gogoi’s visit, hence you all have to trust the Chief Minister.We have documents regarding this. And on September 10 everything will be cleared.”
Chief Minister Sarma also said that BJP has a no-compromise attitude when it comes to Pakistan. If any BJP leader has visited Pakistan on the invitation of the Pakistan Home Department, we will catch him today itself.
It may be mentioned here that CM Sarma has been stating that Gogoi, the Congress MP from Jorhat, made a 15-day visit to Pakistan and that the trip had deeper, troubling implications.
The Chief Minister also questioned whether Gogoi’s wife, Elizabeth Colburn Gogoi, continues to receive a salary from a Pakistan-based NGO while residing and working in India, and pressed for clarity on the citizenship status of Gogoi’s wife and two children.
CM Sarma has repeatedly stated that he will present all evidence publicly on September 10, in a detailed press briefing. CM Sarma even offered to resign if Gogoi could prove he had never visited Pakistan.
Reacting to the allegations, Gaurav Gogoi had earlier challenged CM Sarma to provide proof, asking, if CM Himanta Biswa Sarma fails to prove these claims, will he resign from his post as Chief Minister?
