SIT report on Gaurav Gogoi points serious allegations: Himanta Sarma

Guwahati: Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma on Thursday said the report of the Special Investigation Team (SIT), probing the alleged Pakistani links of state Congress president Gaurav Gogoi and his family, contains serious allegations, which he described as a matter of "deep concern", PTI reported.

"I will raise the matter in the cabinet and discuss it with my ministerial colleagues, the CM said on the sidelines of the campaign for BTC elections at Udalguri.

Sarma said he had gone through a part of the report on Wednesday night and there are serious allegations against the Congress MP and his British wife.

"The content of the report will be soon made public under the legal process. I will share as much information as possible with the media, barring the confidential details", Sarma said.

He claimed that the Congress leaders are scared, but ultimately the truth will prevail."

 The SIT, led by Special DGP (CID) Munna Prasad Gupta, formally submitted the report to the CM on Wednesday evening.

The CM, in a post on 'X', later said the SIT report is a 96-page document, "prepared with limited means, yet carrying heavy truths. Just a glance was enough to stir deep pain — showing how easily roots can be cut, and legacy bartered for shadows".

'The true sorrow is not in the fall of a father, but in the silence of two innocent children—too young to know what has been taken from them. My prayers remain with them', he added.

Speaking in Udalguri, Sarma said three members of the state Congress president's family are foreigners, but he is dancing at party programmes.

"The way he danced and celebrated yesterday appeared strange and inappropriate. If I was in the Congress today, I would have pushed him off the stage as the party was once led by people like Mahatma Gandhi, who were at the heart of India's freedom struggle", the CM said.
