Rahul Gandhi’s Post
In an X post, Rahul said the Assam CM would not escape the law and added that Sarma has repeatedly abused the state power to harass his political opponents. Gandhi added that questions that have been been raised by Khera need to be investigated.
Gandhi went on to add that accountability of power, transparency and the rules of law are the primary basis of India’s constitutional values. Gandhi added that neither the INC nor Pawan Khera would get intimidated by Sarma.
Remarks By Pawan Khera
A few days back, Khera claimed on X that he has documents showing that the wife of Assam CM has three passports: one an Egyptian passport, one an Antigua & Barbados passport and a UAE golden card. Khera had then remarked that two of these documents pertain to Islamic countries and yet Sarma continues to claim religious adherence publicly.
The claims by Khera were vehemently denied by the Assam CM and his wife filed a defamation case against Khera. After this, Assam Police went on to nab Khera in Delhi but he had fled to Hyderabad by then.
The Telangana High Court has offered anticipatory bail as the faceoff started to worsen. The bail has been offered to Khera in connection with a case over his defamatory remarks against the Assam CM and his wife.
Interestingly, Rahul Gandhi is also fighting a passport case as questions have been raised in the past about his nationality status.
