Guwahati: Two days after CM
Himanta Biswa Sarma
pledged to step down from his post if his claims about
Congress MP
Gaurav Gogoi
's alleged visit to Pakistan on ISI's invitation were proven false, Sarma on Tuesday initiated another attack on the latter over his three-year-old tweet expressing sympathy to the flood victims of the neighbouring country.
Sarma termed Gogoi's post on Twitter on Aug 29, 2022 as 'unfortunate' and wrote that "some individuals enjoy every privilege India offers — salary, power and position — yet their loyalty lies across the border." "They draw everything from Bharat but work only for Pakistan's interests. This is betrayal," he added.
Gogoi's Aug 29, 2022 post, which was made a day after India's victory over Pakistan in an Asia Cup T20 match in Dubai, reads, "While celebrating the victory of our Indian cricket team over Pakistan, we must not forget the humanitarian disaster that has claimed 1,000 lives in our neighbouring country.
Unprecedented flooding has destroyed towns and homes. Pakistani people need urgent relief and support."
Reacting to this, Gogoi then shared a screenshot of Prime Minister Narendra Modi's X post on the same date on Pakistan floods, where he also expressed grief and condolences. Gogoi wrote in the post, "I am worried about the Chief Minister of Assam. In his desperation, he is calling the position taken by PM Modi in 2022 a betrayal. Is he the right person for the chair of Chief Minister?"
PM Modi in his post on Aug 29, 2022, wrote, "Saddened to see the devastation caused by the floods in Pakistan.

We extend our heartfelt condolences to the families of the victims, the injured and all those affected by this natural calamity and hope for an early restoration of normalcy."
Sarma on Tuesday again made a standalone post without naming Gogoi and said that only a certain section of Indians finds itself restless and frustrated every time the country defeats Pakistan in cricket. "Only a select few dare to visit Pakistan with formal approval from its interior ministry.
Even fewer draw salaries from Pakistani-funded NGOs. And the rarest — and most disgraceful — are those who go so far as to surrender their minor child's Indian passport.
Unfortunately, we have a Member of Parliament from Assam who fits into all these categories. But let it be clear — our laws know how to deal with such individuals. The nation will not tolerate betrayal," the CM said.
Earlier on April 27, Gogoi, while reacting to Sarma's post on X allegations against the Congress MP and asking him to clarify the purpose of the alleged Pakistan visit, asked if the CM would resign if he fails to prove the allegations against Gogoi.

Pentagon dismisses 'pizza index' in connection with Israel's attack on Iran, says they have 'sushi, sandwiches, coffee'
Pentagon dismisses pizza index report of June 13 when Israel attacked Iran and said they don't need to order pizza from outside. A Pentagon spokesperson reacted to the Pizza delivery index of June 13 when Israel launched military attacks in Iran and said they do not need to order pizza as there are many pizza options inside Pentagon and also they have sushi, sandwiches, donuts, etc. So, in a bizarre tracking, a surge in pizza orders around the Pentagon was noticed when the attack took place. "Nearly all pizza establishments near the Pentagon have experienced a HUGE surge in activity," the X account of Pentagon Pizza Report said. The account's post included screenshots of Google data showing the popularity of pizza joints in Washington, D.C. Domino's, District Pizza Palace and We, the Pizza were all dramatically above what was typical for that time of the day. The Pentagon Pizza Report also said a gay bar close to the Pentagon had "abnormally low traffic for a Thursday night" as Israeli strikes were underway. How are pizza orders linked to major geopolitical events The Pentagon Pizza Index, also known as the Pentagon Pizza Meter, is a quirky, unofficial theory suggesting that surges in pizza or takeout food orders to government buildings like the Pentagon, White House, or CIA can signal impending major geopolitical events or crises. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Giao dịch vàng CFDs với sàn môi giới tin cậy IC Markets Tìm hiểu thêm Undo The idea is that when government officials and staff work late into the night on urgent matters—such as military operations, coups, or international conflicts—they order quick, convenient food like pizza to sustain long hours in the office. The concept traces back to the Cold War, when Soviet intelligence reportedly monitored food delivery patterns to U.S. government buildings as a form of open-source intelligence (OSINT), dubbed 'Pizzint' (Pizza Intelligence). According to The Guardian, deliveries of pizzas to the Pentagon doubled immediately before the 1989 US invasion of Panama and the 1991 Kuwait liberation campaign called Operation Desert Storm. The Takeout, a food and culture site, reported in January that while there are a number of eateries in the Pentagon—where almost 30,000 people work each day, according to Arlington National Cemetery Tours—it doesn't have its own pizzeria. Pentagon dismissed the spike reported this time and said they have plenty of pizza options inside and the timeline set out by the Pentagon Pizza Report did not align with the events, Newsweek reported.

Chandigarh: Punjab leader of opposition Partap Singh Bajwa on Sunday accused BJP of "attempting to create divisions within Punjab's society by sending Nayab Singh Saini to campaign in Ludhiana". Tired of too many ads? go ad free now Bajwa said Saini's very presence in Punjab was "a cruel reminder of BJP's anti-Punjab policies and its continued efforts to weaken the state's unity".

" The Congress leader also highlighted "the killing of 22-year-old farmer Shubhkaran Singh, who was shot by Haryana police while protesting at Khanauri (Punjab-Haryana border) in February 2024." He said BJP, through leaders like Saini, made several attempts to snatch Punjab's waters, ignoring the legal, historical, and moral rights of Punjabis. "Such moves directly attack the livelihood of our farmers and the very backbone of Punjab's economy," he said. Accusing Saini of "politicising" the Bhakra Beas Management Board (BBMB) water-sharing issue, Bajwa stated, "Saini brazenly accused Punjab of denying Haryana even drinking water. "
