Umno should be held responsible for lawyer Muhammad Shafee Abdullah's increasing attacks on Opposition Leader Anwar Ibrahim on his sodomy conviction, one of Anwar's lawyers said today.

N Surendran told Malaysiakini that it was now "beyond doubt" that Shafee  speaks on behalf of Umno, more so as he was introduced by Umno Youth chief Khairy Jamaluddin at a forum last night, at which Shafee revealed explicit details of Anwar's alleged sodomy tryst to the attendees.
