Guwahati buzzed with political tension on Tuesday as Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma announced that the Special Investigation Team (SIT) report probing Congress leader Gaurav Gogoi’s alleged ties to Pakistan will be released on February 8 at 10:30 AM. This move, approved in a recent state cabinet meeting, underscores the government’s commitment to transparency amid escalating accusations.
Sarma didn’t hold back, reiterating his claims that Gogoi’s statements and actions raise serious questions about his loyalties. ‘The report will be made public exactly as scheduled,’ he declared, emphasizing that no stone is being left unturned in the probe. The controversy has ignited a fierce BJP-Congress showdown, with the ruling party framing it as a national security imperative.
Over recent weeks, Sarma has repeatedly linked Gogoi to Pakistan-centric ideologies, sparking outrage from the opposition. Gogoi has vehemently denied these charges, calling them a desperate bid to divert attention from governance failures. Congress accuses the BJP of weaponizing state machinery against rivals ahead of key political battles.
The SIT was formed to scrutinize specific claims, drawing both praise for accountability and criticism for timing. As the release date nears, all eyes are on the findings that could reshape Assam’s political landscape. Sarma assured the public that truth will prevail once the facts are laid bare, inviting citizens to judge for themselves.
