Cong MP Gaurav Gogoi 100 pc Pakistani agent, planted by foreign power: Himanta

Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma on Friday alleged that state Congress president and MP Gaurav Gogoi is a "Pakistani agent, planted by foreign power".

He also dared Gogoi, the Deputy Leader of the Congress in Lok Sabha, to file a defamation case against him if the allegations were false.

"Gaurav Gogoi is a Pakistani agent, he is purely that. He has been planted by foreign power in our country," Sarma told reporters here on the sidelines of a programme.


"The day I show the evidence, everybody will say that he is 100 per cent a Pakistani agent," the chief minister asserted.

Sarma said he will reveal the "evidence" once the investigation into singer Zubeen Garg's death is completed.

"I am not convening a press conference now to share the evidence, as some will say the Zubeen Garg issue is being diverted," he said.

Sarma and the BJP have been alleging Pakistani links of Gogoi through his British wife.
