Assam politics reached a boiling point Tuesday when Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma confirmed the public release of the SIT report on Gaurav Gogoi’s alleged Pakistan links, set for February 8 at 10:30 AM. Stemming from cabinet deliberations, this step signals the administration’s resolve for full disclosure.
The CM sharpened his attack, asserting Gogoi’s conduct warrants scrutiny for potential security risks. Weeks of such barbs have polarized the state, pitting BJP’s security-first stance against Congress’s cries of vendetta politics.
Gogoi countered fiercely, branding the probe a fabricated narrative to sideline opposition strength. Congress leaders decry it as an abuse of power, timed to disrupt ahead of crucial contests.
While BJP champions the SIT as vital for accountability, detractors see it as selective targeting. Sarma wrapped up by vowing that sunlight on the report will affirm the government’s transparency ethos. With stakes high, the impending revelations could redefine alliances and narratives in Assam’s volatile political theater.
