If you do it now the pup will die. It hasn't made sufficient corm or roots. If you do not care about the pup, then I guess you could dig it out. I have never heard of you leave the pup it will Hitler the mother plant. I know if you let it get really big (several feet tall) it might hurt the mother but probably not that much.
