Congress claims Himanta Biswa Sarma’s wife has 3 passports: Read how the documents presented by Pawan Khera are forged with mismatched details

Just four days before the assembly elections in Assam, Congress leader Pawan Khera attempted to create a controversy surrounding Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma's family by claiming that Riniki Bhuyan Sharma, the wife of the Chief Minister, holds three foreign passports. In a press conference held in Delhi, Khera presented documents, allegedly from the UAE, Egypt, and Antigua and Barbuda, as evidence of dual or multiple citizenship. However, both the Chief Minister and his wife have vehemently denied these claims, stating that they will file criminal and civil defamation cases against Khera for spreading "malicious, fabricated, and politically motivated lies."

The documents in question, one UAE identity card misrepresented as a passport and two supposed passports from Antigua & Barbuda and Egypt, were presented by Congress spokesperson Pawan Khera during the press conference. The Chief Minister and the Assam BJP have accused Congress of presenting fake documents, pointing out several specifications that demonstrate the inconsistencies in these documents. In a series of posts on X, Himanta Biswa Sarma described the materials as "poorly executed" fakes riddled with inconsistencies that no genuine official document would contain.

The discrepancies in the documents presented by Congress are significant and suggest a crude attempt at digital manipulation. The first and most apparent issue is the surname mismatch. Every single "passport/ID" uses the spelling "Riniki Bhuyan Sarma," while the official and correct spelling of her surname is "Sharma." It is possible that Congress assumed the spelling of the Chief Minister's surname, "Sarma," and applied it to his wife's name. However, this is a clear error, as the couple's official documents use the correct spelling of "Sharma."

In addition to the surname discrepancy, there are other glaring inconsistencies in the documents. For instance, the UAE identity card presented as a passport contains information that does not match the format or specifications of a genuine UAE passport. The design, layout, and security features of the documents are also suspect, as they do not align with the standards typically found in official passports or identity cards.

Furthermore, the passports from Antigua & Barbuda and Egypt presented by Congress also exhibit several inconsistencies. The design and security features of these documents are not consistent with the official passports issued by these countries. Additionally, the details provided in the passports, such as the date of issue and the issuing authority, do not match the official records or the typical format used by these nations.

In response to these allegations, Congress leader Pawan Khera has not provided any evidence to support his claims or address the discrepancies pointed out by the Chief Minister. Instead, he has continued to rely on the forged documents, further solidifying the notion that the evidence presented is fabricated.

The situation has escalated as the Chief Minister and his wife have announced their intention to file legal action against Pawan Khera for defamation. They argue that Khera's actions are politically motivated and intended to undermine their credibility and the BJP's campaign in the upcoming assembly elections.

This incident highlights the growing trend of political parties resorting to false information and forged documents to discredit their opponents during election campaigns. It is crucial for the public to remain vigilant and fact-check such claims to avoid being misled by politically motivated disinformation.

In conclusion, the recent attempt by Congress leader Pawan Khera to implicate Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma's wife with fabricated passport claims has been met with strong denials and legal threats. The discrepancies in the documents presented by Congress, including the surname mismatch and inconsistencies in design and security features, have raised serious doubts about their authenticity. As the election campaign progresses, it will be essential for both parties to focus on addressing the needs and concerns of the Assam electorate rather than engaging in baseless accusations and forged evidence.
