Guwahati, February 15, 2025: The Congress, in an attempt to divert public attention from the core allegations against Jorhat MP Gaurav Gogoi and his wife, has been trying to mislead people by raising unrelated issues. However, such propaganda initiated by the Congress ecosystem will not deceive the public. Instead, Gaurav Gogoi and his wife must provide clear and direct answers to the allegations made against them, stated BJP Assam Pradesh spokesperson Lakhya Konwar.
Newly emerging evidence suggests that the issue is far more serious than previously anticipated. A July 10, 2015 article published in the Youth Forum on Foreign Policy (YFPP)—an organization backed by Gaurav Gogoi—labeled the Border Security Force (BSF) of India as a human rights violator. The article specifically accused BSF personnel deployed along the India-Bangladesh international border of brutally shooting Bangladeshi citizens under the pretext of preventing illegal infiltration. Furthermore, it alleged that the Indian border security forces were involved in human rights violations and had unlawfully killed nearly 1,000 innocent Bangladeshi nationals, in violation of international law.
The people of Assam have now begun questioning whether the BSF, which protects Assam’s borders, is a friend of the state or if Gaurav Gogoi’s YFPP is truly working in Assam’s interest. Through this article, an attempt has been made to defame India’s internal security forces like the BSF at the international level, and Gaurav Gogoi must be held accountable for this anti-national propaganda.
Additionally, serious concerns have been raised regarding Gaurav Gogoi’s wife, Elizabeth Colburn Gogoi,who was appointed by a Pakistani national, Ali Sheikh, who has publicly made anti-India remarks for a long time. The open support of Gaurav Gogoi for such individuals raises national security concerns, which he must answer, stated BJP spokesperson Lakhya Konwar.
