AFP[/caption] Even as Lok Sabha adjourns amid uproar over Union Minister Giriraj Singh’s remarks against Congress chief Sonia Gandhi, over on Twitter, social media savvy Rajya Sabha politicians Baijayant Jay Panda (BJP), Derek O’Brien (Trinamool Congress Parliamentary Party) and Milind Deora (Congress) engaged in some light hearted banter on Twitter today. Perhaps watching the shenanigans in the upper house of Parliament which has been peppered with adjournments, the three took each other on in a humorous exchange that obviously delighted the rest of the Indian social media sphere. It started when O’Brien tweeted:

Rise & shine. LS starts today but RS only on Thurs... like when half the classes in school are open and the other half shut. Funny feeling

To which Panda replied in an obvious tongue in cheek reference to the ruckus ridden session in the Lok Sabha:

To which Panda replied:

Getting the, er, more disciplined class to start first might hopefully set an example 😉? https://t.co/lGuiYeaqpt

O’Brien quipped back saying:

@PandaJay Ha ...😃 That begs the question : are you guys high school and the RS middle school ? Or the other way around ?

Deora promptly joined in asking the ‘boys’ not to tweet during the session:

@PandaJay Ha ...😃 That begs the question : are you guys high school and the RS middle school ? Or the other way around ?

To which O’Brien replied with:

@milinddeora @PandaJay Only Jay is in class today. My school ( RS ) closed today. Milind, my friend, come back to school soon :)

The conversation ended (for now) with a Pink Floyd reference from Deora who :

@quizderek we don't need no education. Teachers, leave them kids alone 😉 @PandaJay

— Milind Deora | मिलिंद देवरा (@milinddeora) April 20, 2015

@milinddeora @PandaJay ... We don't need no thought control...

The three have previously engaged in some ’light-hearted moments’ back in February:
