Don't text, tweet in class, Milind Deora tells Derek O'Brien
April 20, 2015

It's an encore from Milind Deora and Derek O'Brien.

Just ahead of the reconvened Budget session of Parliament Deora tweeted O'Brien and BJD MP Jay Panda saying: @quizderek @PandaJay Boys, please don't forget my earlier advice - not to text or tweet during classes!

To which TMC spokesperson and Rajya Sabha MP Derek O'Brien replied, @quizderek @milinddeora @PandaJay Only Jay is in class today. My school ( RS ) closed today. Milind, my friend, come back to school soon :)

An exchange of tweets between these three politicians, two of them MPs sitting in a parliamentary committee meeting, amused many on social media in February.

This is what Panda, a social media savvy politician had tweeted "Some 1st time MPs' conduct is guided by their idea of Parlmt as shown by media. Out of sync in committee mtgs (in-camera & v.difft ambience) (sic)."

Moments later, Trinamool Congress member Derek O'Brien responded, "Hmmm sitting three seats away from you ...wink :)"

Congress leader Milind Deora was not in the meeting, but apparently had the last word.

"@quizderek @PandaJay put away your smartphones and get back to work guys," he tweeted with a wink.

Deora, a former MP, lost the national election last year.
