Assam Congress chief Gaurav Gogoi on Saturday said that Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma will "run away" to Dubai or Singapore the very next day he loses power in the state.
Speaking to reporters here, Gogoi said that the allegations levelled by the Assam CM regarding him about a Pakistani agent were "ad nauseam and fictional". He slammed Sarma for not being able to produce evidence backing his allegations. "Himanta Biswa Sarma has been repeating ad nauseam false, baseless, and fictional allegations about me since February this year. He has many times said that he will reveal all the facts on September 10. However, he has not given a shred of evidence to back his fictional claims. Therefore, his own credibility today is zero. The chief minister has repeatedly lied and misled people of Assam," Gogoi said. The Assam Congress chief added that Sarma was in "constant fear" of losing power in the state since he would have to answer the public that he had "terrorised, intimidated, threatened, and arrested". "I believe he is in a constant fear of losing power because he will have to answer to the public in the future. He won't have the Home Department to protect him. He is afraid to answer the people. In the future, he might have to run away and go to Dubai or Singapore, where his interests lie. Because he will not be able to face the justice demanded by the people of Assam," he said. Gogoi asserted that Sarma will face justice of the people, but "won't be able to look them in the eye". s "Jail comes after the judge convicts. However, immediately after losing power, Himanta Biswa Sarma will have to be among the ordinary public. The public he has terrorised, intimidated, threatened, and arrested. He has forced people to sell their land and tea gardens. He will have to face the justice of the people," he said. His remarks come after CM Sarma on Friday claimed that Gogoi was "100 per cent Pakistani agent". "Gaurav Gogoi is a Pakistani agent. He is a pure Pakistani agent. If he has the courage, lodge a defamation case against me. What I have is the evidence, he is a 100 per cent Pakistani agent. He has been planted by a foreign power in our country. He is a planted person. I am saying this with facts. As a Chief Minister, I am saying that he is a pure Pakistani agent. After giving justice to Zubeen Garg, I will prove it," Sarma told reporters.
