Kochi: In a serious allegation, Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma has urged the Union Home Ministry to probe into Congress leader Gaurav Gogoi, MP’s, suspected links to Pakistan, NDTV reported.
The allegations are serious in nature and must be probed by a central agency in the interest of national security and transparency, Sarma told a press conference in Guwahati.
Justifying a central probe, he stressed that the Assam government has its own limitations of investigation.
The government had formed an SIT to probe the allegations, and a case was registered based on its initial findings.
After perusing the report submitted by the state cabinet resolved that the case
must be probed by a central agency in view of the sensitivity and wider implications of the case.
The state government was waiting for
the MHA’s consent, he said.
There are allegations that Gaurav Gogoi’s British wife, Elizabeth Coleburn, had ties to Pakistan, especially the Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI), while she was working in Islamabad under Tauqeer Sheikh, a former adviser to the Planning Commission of Pakistan.
