New Delhi, June 28: <b>The Congress has advised its functionaries not to comment out of turn on policy matters or sound “more Left than the Left” or like the BJP’s Murli Manohar Joshi.</b>

<b>The party has issued orders that all officials can convey to Sonia Gandhi and her aides any reservations they have with the Centre’s policy announcements or the conduct of individual ministers.</b>

Sources said that if the party saw merit in their opinions, it would take up the issue at an “appropriate” forum, such as the core committee that meets on Fridays and has Prime Minister Manmohan Singh and Sonia as members.

The orders have been issued in the context of the criticism levelled at human resource development minister Kapil Sibal’s blueprint for education reform last week.

<b>A Congress official, who counts himself as “close” to Sonia, had talked openly of how the minister “transgressed” his mandate by going public with the roadmap without consulting anybody.</b>

He had said that before unrolling changes that “struck at the kernel” of the education system, Sibal should have met Congress Working Committee members and representatives of the parliamentary standing committee on human resource development.
