New Delhi: A day after police searched his residence in Delhi, Congress leader Pawan Khera on Friday launched more attacks on the Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma Amidst the ongoing dispute between the two.In a social media post on Twitter, Congress shared a self-made video of Khera in which he raised questions over a company named “Bhuiyan Properties LLC” allegedly listing Himanta’s wife Riniki Bhuiyan Sharma as the authorized manager.Kheda said the company’s non-disclosure agreement (NDA) lists Sharma’s various addresses and multiple citizenships.“Now, some more information has come to light. Specifically there are Wyoming state websites. Your IT cell raised questions on a recently registered company. Let me clarify the date: April 6 appears because, as requested, the nondisclosure agreement was revoked. There is a difference between filing and incorporation. You are showing filing dates; I am asking about incorporation,” Kheda said.“My question is, when the non-disclosure agreement was lifted, information about a company called ‘Bhuyan Properties LLC’ with a Wyoming address came to light. Additional articles listed Reniki Bhuyan Sharma as the authorized manager/member. This information became visible after the non-disclosure was lifted. Identity, Nationality: Antigua and Barbuda; Date of Birth: July 31, 1973; Comments: Invested by Citizenship: Other Nationalities: Yes (multiple). This is written on their website. Now, what is the address of Reniki Bhuiyan Sharma on this website? Care of Bhuyan Properties Ltd., an LLC company in Wyoming. The given address is in London, England. Other addresses are also listed from Dubai, United Arab Emirates and Dhaka, Bangladesh. “This all came from the Wyoming state website after the nondisclosure agreement was revoked,” he said.Furthermore, Khera reiterated his claim regarding Sarma’s alleged multiple passports from Egypt, UAE and Antigua and Barbuda, demanding an investigation to confirm whether they are genuine or fake.“Now, what are our questions? Passport from Egypt, Golden Visa from UAE, and passport from Antigua and Barbuda. Whether they are real or fake, we are not in the government, so you should investigate. Did you, your agent or any of your family members open these fake companies and purchase properties using fake KYC documents? Only an investigation can prove it,” Kheda said.Meanwhile, Kheda also criticized the Assam government’s move to file a police complaint against him and said “he will not be intimidated.”“For the last two days, you have seen what kind of tactics the Assam Police is adopting. Well, it is not the Assam Police at all, but the Chief Minister of Assam and probably the Home Minister of the country. A hundred policemen went to my small flat in Delhi. I was not there, no one from my family was there. But on reaching there, they snatched an old phone, a memento of my younger sister who died during Covid. They took a laptop I never use, an iPad I hadn’t even started using. They say they took two pen drives; “I don’t know whether they brought them or took them away, I have no idea,” he said.“Anyway, wherever I go, or wherever they think I have gone, they send police. Why? The Congress party has only asked questions. Why do you want to silence the Congress party? Why do you want to silence me? We have asked questions, please answer them. We produce these documents and information and demand investigation. Are we wrong to do so? Instead of answering, you are abusing everyone, letting the police loose and trying to scare us. Are. Do you think we will get scared? You may have a habit of scaring us, Sharma ji, but we are not in the habit of scaring us. Let me tell you why. I am from Mewar, I am a Congressman, I am a soldier of Rahul Gandhi. So, how can I be afraid? I will not be afraid. But yes, because I must keep speaking, because I must keep asking questions, I am actually evading your police.”Earlier on Wednesday, Assam Police searched the Delhi residence of Congress leader Pawan Khera amid the ongoing political controversy over allegations that Assam CM Himanta Biswa Sarma’s wife Riniki Bhuyan Sarma holds multiple passports.Assam Police said they had recovered “objectionable” material from Khera’s house, but declined to provide further details. The current whereabouts of the Congress leader are unknown, leading to speculation and political tension ahead of the elections.The controversy stems from a press conference by Kheda, where he alleged that Riniki Bhuyan Sarma held three passports and had undeclared assets abroad. The Sarma family has rejected the claims, terming the documents as “AI-generated fabrications” and “doctored images”.Sarma rejected the allegations regarding properties in Dubai, claimed that the documents cited by Congress were obtained without authorization from Scribd, and reiterated claims of “Pakistani links” involving Congress leaders Gaurav Gogoi and Khera. He said, “Why did you take help from Pakistani social media groups? … My allegation is why is Pakistan helping Gaurav Gogoi.”Political controversy has intensified ahead of the assembly elections in Assam on April 9 and the campaigning will end this evening. Counting of votes will take place on May 4.
