Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma has accused Congress leader Pawan Khera of making false allegations regarding his wife, Riniki Bhuyan Sarma, claiming she holds multiple passports and has foreign assets. This accusation comes as Sarma prepares for the upcoming assembly elections on April 9. Sarma stated that Khera's claims were based on material sourced from Pakistani social media, alleging that this was an attempt to influence the elections in Assam. In response, Sarma's wife filed a police complaint against Khera for defamation, asserting that the allegations were fabricated. Sarma also claimed that a passport mentioned in the allegations has been verified as fake by authorities, and he expects law enforcement to take appropriate action. Khera, in turn, has questioned how Sarma's wife could hold passports from two Muslim-majority countries while raising concerns about dual citizenship laws in India. The political back-and-forth highlights the escalating tensions between the two parties as the election date approaches.
