Guwahati, May 17 -- Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma on Saturday attacked Congress leader Gaurav Gogoi over his alleged visit to Pakistan and urged Lok Sabha Leader of Opposition Rahul Gandhi not to include Gogoi's name in such a "sensitive and strategic assignment."

"One of the MPs named in the list ( from Assam ) has not denied his prolonged stay in Pakistan--reportedly for two weeks--and credible documents show that his wife was drawing salary from a Pakistan-based NGO while working in India," Assam CM posted on X.

"In the interest of national security and beyond partisan politics, I urge leader of opposition Rahul Gandhi not to include this individual in such a sensitive and strategic assignment," he added.
