Gaurav Gogoi slams Assam CM over 'politicization' of Pahalgam tragedy, urges focus on state issues

Congress MP Gaurav Gogoi has strongly criticized Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma over his recent remarks in the wake of the terrorist attack in Pahalgam, Jammu and Kashmir.

In a sharp statement, Gogoi said, “It is unfortunate that at a time when the entire nation stands united, demanding a firm response against Pakistan for sponsoring terror attacks on Indian citizens, BJP leaders in various states, including Assam, are choosing to indulge in petty politics.”

The Congress leader accused CM Sarma of disrespecting the sacrifices made by the martyrs of Pahalgam. “By making such remarks, the Assam CM is insulting those who laid down their lives in Pahalgam. He is demeaning and diluting the gravity of the tragedy,” Gogoi asserted.

He further advised the Assam Chief Minister to refrain from politicizing national tragedies and instead turn his attention to addressing the pressing issues that directly impact the people of Assam
