Question

How would Hassan apologise for his absence in the class?

Answer 1

I refer to a letter by Dolly Hassan in SN of June 11 headlined, ‘The PNC should concede that certain mistakes were made during its tenure.’ I find the contents with its assessments offensive.

It is one thing for a Guyanese to ask the PNC for an apology but it is a completely different sphere of thought when in the same breath you deny similar mistakes by the present PPP regime, cast the PPP administration as a democratic government and obnoxiously blame the PNC for the horrible mistakes in Guyana as Dr Hassan did with the garbage ubiquity. It is crass insensitivity for an Indian to openly declare that an African-dominated government must say sorry for its mistakes from 1968-1985 but an Indian dominated regime from 1992 to 2014 is excused from the same politically decadent, socially depraved and culturally reprehensible pathway.

$\large\underline\bold\red{Answer}$

Hassan was rarely present in the narrator's class. He used to come if there was a class test or during examination. The narrator met him often for attendance shortage meetings. He would beg for attendance in a pitiful manner. So, it was difficult for the narrator to say no. Sometimes the narrator felt upset. Then she told him that she could not give him attendance. She told him that there should be discipline. He would beg to be excused. Then he told her that she had taught them a good lesson in that respect. She had told them that human beings make mistakes. He who pardons them acts like God. So he was pardoned.
