Looks like Sonia Gandhi doesn't have the spine to take the blame for a horrible mistake that her party's government has committed. The midnight lathi-charge on Ramdev's supporters has angered public opinion against the government. And Madame Gandhi is now trying to distance herself from the attack!

IBN wrote:Who authorised the midnight swoop on Baba
Ramdev? Sonia Gandhi sought to distance herself from the midnight
operation against Baba Ramdev. Sources say she was upset with the
government decision. But, is it possible she was not in the know?
Sources say that at a 3-hour meeting at 10 Janpath on Sunday, Sonia questioned the need for the midnight operation.
The meeting was attended by party leaders and senior ministers Pranab Mukherjee, P Chidambaram, AK Antony and Kapil Sibal.
Sources said Sonia Gandhi asked the ministers why was Ramdev
allowed to hold the Satyagraha at Ramlila Maidan in the first place when
the written permission was not there and why didn't the Government then
wait for at least a day before removing Ramdev....But, there are serious doubts over the fact that Sonia Gandhi was kept in dark.
The big questions remain: Who took the decision to send ministers to the airport?
If Sonia insisted on tough talk, then how come party was not in the know?
Whose decision was it to go in for midnight swoop?
"Please ask the Government about the operation, it was their decision," said senior Congress leader Digvijaya Singh.
"The administration had to resort to force as a Yoga camp was
converted to a protest site. The party is not involved in this," he
added.
However, senior Congress leader Kapil Sibal said that there are no cracks in the Congress on Ramdev and the party is united.
"No differences in the party and the Government. Everybody was
united on the issue. In such things of course the party and the
Government work in coordination," said Sibal.
This is getting curiouser and curiouser.
