BJP Claims Congress MP’s Wife Linked With Pakistan, ISI

On Wednesday, a BJP spokesperson alleged that congress leader Gaurav Gogoi’s wife, Elizabeth Colburn, is linked with Pakistan and ISI.

BJP national spokesperson Gaurav Bhatia said, speaking to the news agency PTI, “Some concerning facts related to national security have come to light. Elizabeth Colburn, the wife of Deputy Leader of Opposition Gaurav Gogoi and her links with Pakistan Planning Commission Advisor Ali Tauqeer Sheikh and the ISI have been found.”

Additionally, Bhatia said, “This is extremely concerning and related to national security, so it is expected that Rahul Gandhi, Mallikarjun Kharge and Gaurav Gogoi will clarify her relations with Pakistan and ISI. The question arising here is that while his wife is a foreign citizen, the organisation she works for is funded by George Soros.’

Gaurav Bhatia said, “A few days ago when Rahul Gandhi said that his fight is with the Indian State, is Gaurav Gogoi and his wife to work with Pakistan and ISI to carry forward that plan and weaken India?”

Assam chief minister Himanta Biswa Sarma took to micro-blogging platform X, “Serious questions need to be answered regarding allegations of ISI links, leading young individuals to the Pakistan embassy for brainwashing and radicalisation, and the refusal to take Indian citizenship for the past 12 years.”

Further, he added, “Additionally, participation in a conversion cartel and receiving funds from external sources, including George Soros, to destabilise national security are grave concerns that cannot be ignored.”

While speaking to the PTI Congress leader, Gaurav Gogoi said in response to Bhatia’s charge, “The BJP has no issue and resorts to these baseless allegations. It conducted the same smear campaign against me and my family before the Lok Sabha polls last year, and the people of the Jorhat parliamentary constituency replied by electing me.”

“Fearing that he might lose his chair, he is trying to divert attention by launching a smear campaign against me and my family,” he added.

Attacking the BJP, he said, “The assembly election is still a year away, but it seems that the BJP is on shaky ground with people losing faith in the party, which is why it launched this attack on me.”
