Earlier, the Assam CM alleged that Ali Tauqeer Sheikh had been in contact with Elizabeth Gogoi, the wife of Congress MP Gaurav Gogoi. He further claimed that Sheikh, apart from his engagement with the Pakistani government, had founded 'Lead Pakistan,' a non-profit organization working on climate change. 

According to CM Sarma, Elizabeth Gogoi was closely associated with 'Lead Pakistan' during her time in Islamabad. The Assam cabinet has expressed concerns over the involvement of a Pakistani-based leader in matters concerning India’s internal affairs. CM Sarma suggested that this raised "serious questions" about the true objectives of the organization and its activities in the country.
