India, Feb. 9 -- Assam Pradesh Congress Committee president Gaurav Gogoi on Monday strongly criticized Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma for bringing his minor children into a political controversy, calling such actions unacceptable.

At a press conference, Gogoi said mentioning his five-year-old and nine-year-old children had gone too far, stressing that political disputes should remain between leaders and never involve children.

He added that while he was willing to face criticism aimed at him personally, he would not remain silent if his children, Congress workers, or ordinary citizens were targeted, and promised to pursue the matter fully if such attacks continued.

Gogoi warned the Chief Minister against escalating personal matters...
