Passports, Pak Links & Politics: Assam Slugfest Ahead of Polls
A fierce political face-off has erupted in Assam with the Congress and the BJP trading sharp allegations. The Congress has accused Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma's wife of holding multiple passports and undisclosed overseas assets, claims strongly denied by the Chief Minister and his family. In a counter-attack, CM Sarma has alleged fabricated documents and claimed Pakistani links to the Congress campaign, even accusing Pakistani media of interfering in Assam's elections. With FIRs filed, accusations flying, and the polls approaching, the political temperature in Assam is rising sharply.
