Twitter goes after Derek O'Brien for creating ruckus during PM's speech

Trinamool Congress MPs led By Derek O’Brien created a complete chaos in the Rajya Sabha yesterday while the Telangana Bill was being passed. The TMC MP tore papers and threw them at Prime Minister Manmohan Singh as he made his speech. Meanwhile, O’Brien kept shouting, ‘Congress, BJP bhai, bhai’ in the Rajya Sabha. Congress leaders stepped forward and made a protective ring around the Prime Minister even as the TMC continued its attack.

The TMC leader is very active on the social media site and has often been seen as one of the saner, more accessible political voices in India. He has often commented on burning political issues and was one of those who has often decried the ruckus in the house. So to see him being an active part of these very same agitations, throwing paper at the Prime Minister of the country, has shocked to say the least. India’s Twitter community lost no time in voicing just what they felt about the TMC Minister’s actions. Here are some of the reactions:

  And some wondered whether Derek O’Brien was planning to make a switch in parties:

   At the time of writing this report, he had not responded to any of the tweets criticising him or even sought to justify or explain his behaviour. But an hour before the Telangana bill was tabled in the Rajya Sabha, O Brien tweeted, ‘At 4pm today tune into RS TV… It just might become Reality Shame TV #Telangana." Clearly, he was the one of those actively turning the house into a Reality Shame TV.
