Assam CM Himanta Biswa Sarma's wife holds multiple passports, says Congress ahead of polls

Palashbari: The Congress on Sunday levelled a series of serious allegations against Assam CM Himanta Biswa Sarma and his wife, Riniki Bhuyan Sarma. The party alleged that Riniki holds multiple foreign passports and has failed to disclose overseas assets in election affidavits.

Addressing a press conference in New Delhi, Congress leader Pawan Khera claimed that documents received by the party from overseas sources indicated that the chief minister's wife possessed three "active" passports, purportedly issued by the United Arab Emirates, Antigua and Barbuda, and Egypt. He questioned how an Indian citizen could allegedly hold multiple foreign passports, stating that Indian law does not permit dual citizenship.
