Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma responded to the Congress amid a growing controversy regarding his wife's passports, asserting that his party replicated the opposition's alleged use of a 'fake' Wyoming-based limited liability company (LLC).
The tension escalated following allegations from AICC Media and Publicity Department Chairman Pawan Khera, who claimed that documents suggested Sarma’s wife holds multiple active passports, raising concerns about possible violations of Indian law.
In a post on X, the Chief Minister stated, “This is how Cong made a fake Wyoming LLC for $199 (in fact they created one after their PC). We also made an LLC in Wyoming called GauravElizabeth786,” and shared instructions on the process.
Sarma further wrote, “We have now successfully registered one LLP in Wyoing using similar toolkit that @INCIndia used to create the fake company in my wife’s name. Tech is not just available to Cong, it is available to us too. Say Hello to ‘GauravElizabeth786’.”
Meanwhile, Pawan Khera alleged that Sarma’s wife holds passports from two Muslim countries and questioned the legality under Indian law which prohibits dual citizenship. He asked, “does Rinki Bhuyan Sarma also hold an Indian passport? Is Himanta Biswa Sarma the adopted son of Amit Shah? And did the country’s Home Minister know that his adopted son’s wife holds 3 passports?”
Earlier, Sarma referenced the St. Kitts forgery case when addressing the ongoing passport dispute involving Congress members Gaurav Gogoi and Pawan Khera, warning that any fabrication related to his wife Riniki Bhuyan Sharma would face stringent legal action. He stated, “Congress once tried this playbook in the St. Kitts case; those days are over. Fabrication will be met with the full force of law–my legal team is already at work.”
