Answers
Answer:
1. Jumman said this to his aunt because he was shameless and had grown tired of her.
2. Jumman’s aunt said this to Algu. She had gone to Algu for help but Algu had politely refused her plea. He did not want to go to the panchayat because Jumman was his friend and he could not go against him.
3. Algu said this to Jumman. Algu was made the head Panch by the aunt, and he said this to question Jumman about his mistreatment of the aunt.
4. Samjhu Sahu said this to Algu when Algu demanded payment for the bullock he had sold to Samjhu. The bullock had died within a month and Sahu refused to pay for it.
5. Algu said this over and over again in front of the village. He was happy that Jumman had not deviated from the path of justice in spite of the enmity between them.
