‘O Mitron’ Much More Dangerous Than Omicron: Congress Leader Shashi Tharoor
Mumbai: Congress leader Shashi Tharoor on Monday took a dig at the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), comparing the Omicron version of coronavirus to ‘O Mitron’, which is often used by Prime Minister Narendra Modi at public rallies and events.
Taking to Twitter, Tharoor said that ‘O Mitron’ is far more dangerous than Omicron, with “no milder variant of this virus”.
The Lok Sabha member said that the result of ‘O Mitron’ has increased polarization, increased hatred and there have been attacks on the Indian Constitution.
“Far more dangerous than #Omicron is “O Mitron”!” tweeted Tharoor. “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. There is no “milder variant” of this virus.”

The Congress party has been aggressive on the Pegasus issue, accusing the central government of spying on civilians using military-grade spyware.
The Pegasus dispute, which is being overseen by a Supreme Court-appointed panel, claimed in a New York Times report that the governments of India and Israel have “agreed on the sale of a package of sophisticated weapons and intelligence gear worth roughly $2 billion — with Pegasus and a missile system as the centrepieces”.
Tharoor’s tweet came when President Ram Nath Kovind was counting the achievements of the central government during the joint sitting of Parliament.
