💨 Abstract

A political feud unfolded on social media between Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma and Congress leader Gaurav Gogoi, sparked by Gogoi's 2022 post expressing sympathy for flood victims in Pakistan, which coincided with India's cricket victory over Pakistan. Sarma and state minister Pijush Hazarika accused Gogoi of misplaced empathy and alleged ties with Pakistan. Gogoi defended his stance by citing Prime Minister Narendra Modi's similar expression of condolence.
