New Delhi: Senior Congress leader Shashi Tharoor today attacks on Prime Minister Narendra Modi. Taking a swipe as he flagged “increased polarisation” and the “weakening of democracy,” he said, “Far more dangerous than Omicron is ‘O Mitron’.”
Shashi Tharoor has been attacking on the government, and is alleging that it is indulging in divisive rhetoric and spreading hatred.
“Far more dangerous than Omicron is ‘O Mitron’! We are measuring the consequences of the latter every day in increased polarisation, promotion of hatred & bigotry, insidious assaults on the Constitution & the weakening of our democracy,” the former Union minister said in a tweet.
Adding on he said that there is no milder variant of this virus.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi has been seen using term ‘Mitron’ a lot in his speeches.
BJP spokesperson Shehzad Poonawala slammed the senior Congress leader and in a hit back to him questioned that can Congress keep the COVID pandemic above from politics?
“Can Congress keep pandemic above politics? First Congress spread vaccine hesitancy & now it says Omicron isn’t dangerous — at beginning of Covid 19 Akhilesh said CAA is more dangerous than Covid. Do these people have no sense of responsibility?” he tweeted.
Tharoor has been attacking the government over the issue of polarisation. On January 29, the Thiruvananthapuram MP had shared a video of Yogi Adityanath and accused him of polarisation, saying the Uttar Pradesh chief minister had no idea how much damage he had caused to the country.
