Passport Row Erupts in Assam as CM Sarma Faces Fresh Allegations
Allegations surface that Assam CM Himanta Biswa Sarma's wife holds three passports, prompting rival calls for probes as supporters and critics clash.
In a new twist to Assam’s already heated political climate, a prominent opposition claim has put the spotlight on Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma and his family. Pawan Khera has alleged that Sarma’s wife, Riniki Bhuyan Sharma, holds three passports — a UAE Golden Card, an Antigua and Barbuda passport, and an Egyptian passport — with two of the documents tied to Islamic countries. He framed the allegations as a test of transparency, arguing that material proof should be made public and that such ties could raise questions about loyalties and governance. The CM’s camp has strongly rejected the accusations, calling them a political attack aimed at distracting from the state’s administration and growth.
