Amid controversy over the alleged ISI links of Congress MP Gaurav Gogoi’s British wife Elizabeth Colburn, the Assam Police on Monday lodged an FIR against Pakistani national Ali Tauqeer Sheikh for his social media comments on India’s internal affairs, Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma said.

Sarma and the BJP have also been attacking Gogoi, the deputy leader of the Congress in Lok Sabha, over Colburn’s alleged ISI links. The Assam Cabinet on Sunday had decided not to register any case against the Congress MP or his British spouse, who the BJP has accused of having ISI links, but instructed the DGP to file an FIR against Sheikh.
