The letter, written by CPI (M) State secretary Jaswinder Singh, accuses Mr. Sharma of using “derogatory slurs” against the Muslim community in his recent statements, and demands that his Parliament membership be dissolved and an inquiry be launched against him.
Earlier this month, Mr. Sharma stirred a controversy by claiming that he was compiling a list of gyms employing Muslim trainers in the city, as he accused them of being involved in “love jihad”.
