Government shifted monsoon session of Parliament to Twitter

Understanding the changing trend and perception of Member of Parliaments, the UPA Government has decided to change the upcoming Parliamentary session on Twitter. The government expects the move will improve the quality of interaction and arguments and will stop so called chaos in Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha forever.
"We are seriously considering this option. Nobody will disrupt Parliamentary work on Twitter and everyone would get chance to talk only 140 words so that only quality interaction would get promoted," said Minister of Parliamentary Affairs, Kamalnath. He also confirmed that short words would make the interaction more interesting for the public.
The government said that retweets will help passing the pending bills.
"We will easily pass the Food Security Bill by presenting it in Twitter Parliament," said Kamalnath. He said that number of retweets will be counted as votes for the bill.
Talking about how the opposition leaders would start message, Kamalnath said they can use hash tags.
"For example, if discussion is on Robertji, members can use hashtags #jamairaja and for Rahulji #pappu and if they want to convey some message to Manmohanji and want to include others to react, they can use #silentbaba," said Kamalnath.
Kamalnath also told that all the MP accounts will be protected and common man can't interact in the session, so that to avoid any legislature harm. He also said that the government will be very strict while interaction and MPs will have to be disciplined.
He said "We will take strict action in case of breach of code of conduct. We will ban them. For instance, we recently banned Manish Tewari from reaching and seriously disrupting harmony of the nation."
