Arif, these two meta infos are important.

When you share something using the social sharing functionality, it can see and take the <meta property="og:description" content...... /> meta info only.

The second meta is necessary for the SEO bots. If you remove it - your site will be indexed incorrectly.

If you have problems with the description when you share post or other content using Social Media Sharing plugin - you need to check the Facebook/G+ cache. You can search for the solutions here: http://www.oxwall.org/forum/829
