Passport Politics in Assam: Claims, Counter-Claims and 'Fakery' Row
A political storm has erupted in Assam ahead of the Assembly polls, with the Congress levelling allegations against Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma's wife, Riniki Bhuyan Sharma, over claims of multiple foreign passports and undisclosed overseas assets. The Chief Minister and his wife have strongly denied the charges, calling the documents fake and pointing to what they describe as glaring inconsistencies, including identity anomalies and surname mismatches. With legal action threatened and political tempers rising, NDTV debates who is behind the alleged 'fakery' and whether the row will impact voters.
