Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma criticized Congress leader Pawan Khera for allegedly circulating false documents and misusing Artificial Intelligence to tarnish his family’s reputation before the elections. Khera had accused Sarma’s wife of holding passports from the UAE, Antigua, and Egypt, and of hiding overseas assets, including properties in Dubai.
Sarma retaliated by denouncing the Congress for distributing counterfeit passports and company records in his wife’s name, labeling it a “new low” for the party. He warned Khera of potential legal repercussions, including life imprisonment, for what he termed a “criminal conspiracy.”
The Chief Minister highlighted numerous discrepancies in the documents presented by the Congress, emphasizing errors like spelling mistakes, incorrect formats, and non-functional QR codes. He also refuted the possibility of Dubai granting citizenship in the manner suggested, deeming the allegations “factually impossible.”
In a bold move, Sarma demonstrated how easy it was to create fake entities online by forming two companies in his wife’s name within 24 hours, spending approximately Rs 40,000. He alleged that the Congress had resorted to desperate measures to mislead voters and accused Khera of being a pawn in his party’s failed attempt to discredit him.
Sarma expressed disappointment in the Congress leadership, particularly targeting former Assam Chief Minister Tarun Gogoi’s son, Gaurav Gogoi, for his involvement. He asserted that voters would not be swayed by falsified documents but would prioritize development and employment when casting their ballots.
