Congress leader Pawan Khera appeared before Assam Crime Branch days after securing anticipatory bail from the Supreme Court in the politically charged passport controversy case.
Top court grants relief to Congress leader after legal battle over FIR filed by Assam CM’s wife, with sharp courtroom exchanges and questions over arrest necessity.
BJP's Shehzad Poonawalla demanded to know who supplied Khera the documents and questioned why Rahul Gandhi backed allegations the Gauhati HC has now found prima facie false.
Court proceedings tighten around Pawan Khera as the Gauhati High Court denies bail and pushes the case into a crucial phase, following earlier refusal of relief by the Supreme Court.
The case stems from statements made by Khera alleging that Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma’s wife, Riniki Bhuyan, possesses multiple foreign passports and undisclosed assets abroad.
Addressing a press conference, Congress spokesperson Pawan Khera accused the state government of failing in its fundamental duty to provide safe drinking water, despite receiving substantial central and international funding.
Senior Congress leader Pawan Khera has launched a scathing attack on the Modi government, accusing it of "surreptitiously" hiking railway fares just weeks before the annual budget.
The notice was served by Chairman of The Statesman Ltd and a Director of UNI R P Gupta, after Khera in a tweet insinuated that someone in “the highest office” had helped Gupta acquire a media company.
Speaking exclusively to news agency UNI, Congress media department chairman Pawan Khera said that the BJP has an illness to distort history.
