Assam cabinet decides to refer case of Gaurav Gogoi's ‘Pakistan links’ to MHA

GUWAHATI: (Feb 8) The Assam cabinet has decided to refer the case of Congress MP Gaurav Gogoi’s alleged Pakistan links to the Ministry of Home Affairs, Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma said.

He maintained that there are “three key players” in the case – an MP, his British wife and Pakistani national Ali Tauqeer Sheikh.

“The Assam government had constituted an SIT to inquire into the alleged anti-India conspiracy of Sheikh in connivance with a British citizen and an MP. Keeping in mind the seriousness of the matter, it was decided to hand it over to the MHA,” Sarma said, while addressing a press conference after chairing a cabinet meeting on Saturday.
