Former law minister HR Bhardwaj
stunned Congress circles on Thursday when he attacked Sonia Gandhi for her
alleged reluctance to share responsibility for the UPA government's
controversial decisions and former finance minister P Chidambaram for his
"hypocrisy" in attacking Section 66A of the IT Act despite the fact
that the contentious provision, which has been struck down by the Supreme
Court, was drafted by the Congress-led coalition.

In a series of TV interviews,
Bhardwaj referred to the summons issued to former PM Manmohan Singh in a
'Coalgate' case to say, "It is a matter of great sorrow that our leaders
are getting summons from the court... those at the top level, including at the
level of PM."

Surprisingly, Bhardwaj, a known
Nehru-Gandhi family loyalist, trained his guns on Congress president Sonia
Gandhi for the legal troubles facing the party. "Does Sonia Gandhi not
understand what happened, why it happened and who did it? Everything is known.
That is the style. Sharing no responsibility and yet do everything," an
agency report quoted him as telling a TV channel. He also claimed that Sonia
was "in the grip of couple of sycophants and corrupt people".

Although Bhardwaj defended Rahul
Gandhi, his remarks cannot amuse the Congress because they mark an endorsement
of BJP's charge that Sonia remote-controlled UPA governments and was party to
all controversial decisions.

The former law minister, known
for outspokenness but who has been keeping a low profile after leaving as
Karnataka governor, also targeted Chidambaram on Section 66A, marking the beginning
of the blame game on the controversial provision which was struck down by the
SC on Tuesday for being violative of the right to free speech provided for
under the Constitution.
