Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma on Thursday again in an apparent attack on Congress MP Gaurav Gogoi said that the latter’s questions in parliament after his marriage to a British revealed a growing focus on sensitive defence matters.

Sarma pointed out that the MP was not a member of the Parliamentary Committee on External Affairs at the time, and raised concerns about the purpose of the meeting.

“The couple needs to answer serious questions raised regarding close their links with the ISI and taking young impressionable minds to the Pakistan High Commission for brainwashing and radicalization,” Sarma said. Gogoi, the MP from Jorhat, has, however, rejected the allegations stating that it was “only to divert attention” from allegations made against Sarma.
