Explanation:
The statements come from the story Leela’s Friend by RK Narayan
Sidda is the servant to the Sivasankers. He tells stories to Leela and soon becomes her constant companion. She stays by his side while he is working in the garden or chopping wood. She also accompanies him on errands.
One day Sidda is sent to buy sugar and Leela accompanies him. On their return, Leela's mother notices that Leela's gold chain is missing. She admonished Leela and summons Sidda.
"in any case, we couldn't have kept a criminal like him in the house" The speaker of these words is Mr. Sivasanker
Mr. Sivasanker utters these words because he became aware of Sidda's criminal past.
The criminal referred to in this story is Sidda.
Sidda was suspected of stealing a gold chain from Leela.

answer : These last words of mr.sivasanmker exposes the class division of the society and the utter indifference of the higher class towards the feelings and sufferings of the poor people.Though it was proved that sidda did not steal Leela's gold chain, mr sivasanker did not repent sidda's police custody and what ever in for mation the inspector provided him about sidda's past became the basis of the understanding of mr.sivasnmker .He was eloguent in saying that a criminal like sidda could not be kept in the house.The poor,thus,are not givena chance to live property and hono wably the rich who always tend to pronounce judgement on them.
