Himanta Biswa Sarma: Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma has refuted the claims of Congress Leader Pawan Khera that his wife holds the passports of UAE, Antigua-Barbuda and Egypt. Sarma remarked that the press conference materials used by Congress leaders Gaurav Gogoi and Pawan Khera were allegedly supplied by a social media group from Pakistan. The Assam CM also alleged that there has been a massive surge in upcoming Assam assembly elections from Pakistan and a wave of support for the Congress party.
Recently, Khera alleged that Sarma’s wife Riniki Bhuyan has three different passports. Khera also claimed that Riniki has a series of undisclosed business interests outside the country. Khera went on to allege that the Sarma family holds several properties in Dubai and companies in USA.
Himanta Biswa Sarma Reaction
Reacting to the passport allegations, Himanta Biswa Sarma remarked that the Congress has a long history of using fabricated documents to influence state election outcomes. Sarma warned Khera and others of life imprisonment for such behaviour in the future.
DON'T MISS
Sarma went on to remark that confirmations from the Indian government and Dubai authorities clearly indicate that the passport-in-question was fake and not genuine.
Sarma added that a FIR has been lodged by his wife, Riniki Bhuyan Sharma. The Assam CM said the police would register the case and take the required actions as per the appropriate sections of the Indian law.
Pakistani PC Materials
Sarma added that at least 11 talk shows have been conducted by Pakistani channels in the last 10 days regarding the Assam Assembly elections 2026. Sarma said that such trends have been completely unprecedented and the conclusion in each of these talk shows is that the Congress party should emerge as the winner.
These developments come just a few days before the upcoming Assam Assembly Elections 2026 that start on April 9 in a single phase across the state’s 126 constituencies. The counting of votes is scheduled by the Election Commission of India for May 4.
