GUWAHATI: Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma has said that the state government may seek the help of an agency like Interpol to investigate Pakistani national Ali Tauqeer Sheikh‘s anti-India agenda.
CM Sarma has escalated his offensive against his former colleague, Congress MP Gaurav Gogoi, alleging that his British wife, who retained UK citizenship for 12 years, has links with Pakistan national Ali Tauqeer Sheikh and an organization tied to Pakistan’s ISI.
Sarma said the SIT obtained substantial preliminary information about the Pakistani national. “He visited India along with many people from Pakistan. Even a person in the stature of Pakistan’s attorney general also came to India. They stayed in smaller hotels to avoid public glare. The visits continued until the Covid pandemic,” the Assam CM said.
“It is a sensitive matter. I have apprised the Union home minister (Amit Shah) about the developments in the case. The SIT is probing the case, but it can do so up to a certain level. At some stage, we will have to take the help of an agency like Interpol,” CM Sarma explained.
The chief minister said, “The entire probe is at an initial stage now, and the government will take it forward as far as possible in the coming days.” He said Sheikh, who is from Pakistan’s establishment, came to India 18-20 times, tweeted about Assam, and gave comments.
