US EditionGaurav Gogoi's 'Pakistan Links' Being Probed for Sake of National Security: Himanta
Assam Cabinet forwards SIT findings on Congress MP Gaurav Gogoi's alleged Pakistan links to the Union Home Ministry for a broader national security probe, state officials said.
- On February 8, 2026, the Assam cabinet decided to forward the matter concerning Congress MP Gaurav Gogoi's alleged Pakistan links to the Union Home Ministry, Sarma said.
- The Assam government had constituted an SIT to investigate alleged interference by Pakistani national Ali Tauqeer Sheikh and his links with a British citizen, citing national security.
- The SIT's findings center on three individuals: a sitting Member of Parliament, his British citizen wife Elizabeth Colburn, and Pakistani national Ali Tauqeer Sheikh, with two foreign-linked persons having 'central roles,' Sarma said.
- Facing the probe, Gaurav Gogoi rejected the charges as "ridiculous, baseless, insane and nonsense" and accused Sarma's family of grabbing around 12,000 bighas of land, escalating the political row as Himanta Biswa Sarma said he would file a defamation case.
- When it reaches the NIA, IB or CBI, officials say those agencies will take it ahead, Sarma said, citing the SIT report submitted on September 10.
