Riniki Bhuyan Sharma, the wife of Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma, has filed an FIR against the Congress party following allegations made by Pawan Khera, the party's Media Department Chairperson. Khera accused Sharma of holding three passports from the UAE, Egypt, and Antigua and Barbuda, and owning properties in Dubai that were not disclosed in her husband's election affidavit. In response, Sharma dismissed the allegations as 'malicious' and 'fabricated', asserting that they stem from Congress's frustration over the growing popularity of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) in Assam. She emphasized that the claims are based on poorly edited images and called for justice. Himanta Biswa Sarma has vowed to file both criminal and civil defamation suits against Khera, asserting that the allegations are politically motivated lies. The BJP has rallied in support of Sarma, condemning the Congress for what they describe as baseless accusations aimed at tarnishing the Chief Minister's reputation. The political tension is heightened as Assam prepares for Assembly elections on April 9.
