Political fireworks erupted in Ranchi as BJP spokesperson Pratul Shahdeo targeted Congress MP Gaurav Gogoi over explosive allegations of his wife’s Pakistan connections, calling it a national security red flag.
Assam CM Himanta Biswa Sarma, relying on SIT findings, disclosed that Gogoi’s wife visited Pakistan repeatedly, purportedly serving agencies and getting remunerated, all without requisite diplomatic disclosures despite her husband’s parliamentary status.
Shahdeo pressed Gogoi for explanations: ‘Why did the CM need to expose this? What drives this pattern of unsanctioned Pakistan visits? Congress’s pro-Pakistan stance threatens our nation’s integrity.’
Addressing RSS leader Mohan Bhagwat’s family size remarks, Shahdeo cited research showing sub-two-child households cause population shrinkage. ‘In today’s one-child era, two children are essential for demographic stability— a personal choice but vital for India’s future.’
On UCC, he affirmed BJP’s commitment, noting Constitution makers’ original intent derailed by Congress’s divisive personal laws. ‘We push for uniform justice across faiths.’
The broadside extends to core ideological battles, with Assam voters keenly watching as BJP paints Congress as soft on security and regressive on reforms. Gogoi’s silence could fuel further scrutiny in the coming days.
