Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) lawmaker Nishikant Dubey has sought Shashi Tharoor’s removal as the Parliamentary Standing Committee on Information Technology chairperson for allegedly using the panel to further his political agenda. He made the demand in a letter to Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla over Tharoor’s comments about the issue of tagging tweets of BJP leaders related the Congress’s alleged “toolkit” to defame the government as “manipulated media”.

In his letter to the Speaker, Dubey has sought action against Tharoor for his “cantankerous, inane and rogue behaviour’’ which is “tarnishing the image of Parliament as well as the Government of India’’.
 
Dubey’s main charge against Tharoor is that he referred to the B.1.617 variant of Covid as the “Indian variant” even though the World Health Organisation has said there is no such strain and the government has written to all social media platforms to remove such mentions.
 
Nishikant Dubey accused Shashi Tharoor of “using the committee as an extension of the Congress”. He added Tharoor is more concerned about his party and Congress leader Rahul Gandhi’s agenda than the nation. “Recently, on the Twitter toolkit controversy, he is asking for explanations from the Ministry of Information and Technology [IT] when Twitter’s action is against this nation’s IT law,” Dubey said.
