The political confrontation between Himanta Biswa Sarma, the Chief Minister of Assam, and Pawan Khera, a Congress leader, escalated on Wednesday after Khera alleged that Sarma's wife, Riniki Bhuyan Sharma, holds three passports from India, the UAE, and Egypt, and owns undisclosed luxury properties in Dubai. In response, Riniki filed a criminal defamation FIR against Khera, which led to a police raid at Khera's residence in Delhi, where some electronic devices were seized. Minister of State for External Affairs Pabitra Margherita labeled Khera's allegations as 'fake and fabricated.' The situation has prompted verbal exchanges between leaders of both parties, with Congress leader Priyanka Gandhi Vadra criticizing Sarma for his remarks towards Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge. Rahul Gandhi also condemned Sarma's comments, calling them 'shameful.' The incident highlights the ongoing rivalry between the BJP and Congress, with both sides trading accusations and defending their positions.
