Congress's Allegations Against Sarma's Wife
Meanwhile, Congress leader Pawan Khera alleged that documents suggested that Sarma's wife holds multiple active passports and said, "Himanta Biswa Sarma's entire politics is based on hatred against Muslims, but how does his wife hold passports from two Muslim countries? According to Indian law, you cannot hold dual citizenship, so 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?"
