Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) MP Nishikant Dubey has written to Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla, urging him to disqualify Congress party leader Shashi Tharoor from the Indian Parliament. Dubey, a parliamentarian from Jharkhand, alleged in his letter that Tharoor has called B.1.617 as the "Indian variant" of the novel coronavirus, which he says is both "unscientific and derogatory."
