New Delhi: Assam Congress president Gaurav Gogoi on Monday (February 9) threatened to sue Assam chief minister Himanta Biswa Sarma after accusing him of circulating private information about the former’s minor children.“He (Sarma) stooped so low that he shared the private information of my minor children, which we cannot make public. People know what happened or did not happen with the chief minister’s son and daughter. Don’t force me to speak up,” said Gogoi, reported The Hindu.Gogoi’s attack on Sarma came a day after the latter had asked Gogoi to disclose his activities along with those of his British wife Elizabeth Colburn Gogoi during a 10-day visit to Pakistan in 2013. Back then Gogoi was not an MP. Colburn Gogoi had worked for a year at LEAD Pakistan, a climate organisation in Islamabad. Sarma had accused Gogoi of surrendering his nine-year-old son’s passport so that he could get British citizenship.Gogoi, who is also the deputy leader of Congress in the Lok Sabha said he would consult the Congress’s legal cell in New Delhi about invoking Section 74 of the Juvenile Justice (Care and Protection of Children) Act, 2015. The provision prohibits the disclosure of a juvenile’s identity in the media or public records.“Earlier, the chief minister said I went to Pakistan for 15 days and that I, as an MP, should have obtained permission before my visit. Yesterday, he said I went there for 10 days and that I visited the country before becoming an MP,” said Gogoi.“My wife worked under an international climate programme in Pakistan for a year, and that programme is ongoing in different countries. We were newly married then. We went to Pakistan to see where she stayed, which bazaar she went to, and where she ate,” he added.Gogoi dared Sarma to make the findings of Assam police’s Special Investigation Team (SIT) on the matter public and said that the chief minister couldn’t provide any evidence of his alleged links with Pakistan. He asked why, despite receiving the probe report on September 10, 2025, he Sarma has been sitting on it.“The Chief Minister could not give evidence in support of his allegation that I am an agent of another country. He realised that there was no substance in the SIT report,” said Gogoi, reported The Hindu.“We wanted the report to come out. People are saying that the report is our political success. We are happy that the Chief Minister has fallen into our trap. He took more than two hours but could not convince the media persons (with the questions and allegations he raised),” he added.
