Tell Laura we love her
- By The Rambler
- Published 4th April, 2008
Among the myriad virtues that the Lord Almighty has endowed our current Minister of Education and Human Resources with, the one which stands out the most is, by far, his steadfastness, his doggedness, and his tenacity to cling to his ministerial chair against all odds. More than one week after he disqualified himself for the job, he is still in office in spite of a general clamour that he should lev paké and f....off.
As a matter of fact, ever since he assumed office there have been voices that have claimed his dismissal. But these have been mostly those of trade unionists, and we can understand that these people are used to fighting against windmills. If we listen to trade unionists, no minister should ever exist in our system.
But in the present case, it's the whole population, in unison, that is asking Dharam Gokhool to go. Unfortunately, vox populi doesn't seem to be vox dei any more. The minister seems to be labouring under the delusion that the public has a memory to forget and they will soon cease to remember his lethal blunder. Concerning his famous declaration on RadioPlus which he claims has been misunderstood, we were prepared
to gift him with the benefit of the doubt at a certain moment. But when we looked again, and after going carefully through his tortuous explanation, we are now tempted to withhold that benefit.
“Nu éna 350,000 zelev dan nu bann lekol. Se maléré ki enn zanfan inn perji so la vi.” (There are 350,000 pupils in our schools. It's unfortunate that one child has lost her life.) Really, what was the use of giving the number of pupils in this context? Why this statistical urge? We do not want to impute cruel designs. But we could also read it this way: Nu éna 350,000 zelev dan nu bann lekol, se maléré ki enn (sel) inn perji so la vi.
But we will refrain from judging him on what he said or didn't mean to say. Maybe next time he says something he might also have to provide the brains to understand what he says and why he says it.
In the meantime little Laura has lost her precious life because of Dharam Gokhool's two blunders in one day. First, he should not have opened the schools on Wednesday, and second, having opened them, he should not have closed them when the rain was at its peak.
Two faux pas in a day, that's two too many. What does his dharam say about it all?

Shame should be on Gokhool himself. He has committed two faux pas in a day, he must pay for it. He can't come out with stupid explanation to explain the blunder he made. There is no explanation. The guy must go. I am not an M.P nor a bout seeker. Logically Gokhool must leave his post.

Just like cowards die many times before their deaths, hypocrites flie over the dodo's nest, strut and fret the stage like a walking shadow but like serpents under innocents flowers await for "ene position digne et sincere" on the misfortune of others! Laura is a big loss to her family, to the country and to humanity. God bless her soul and let's pray mercy for her & for the peace of mind of her parents. For Laura's sake, would the PM, the leader of Opposition & others stop doing politics on her memory? Would certain MPs stop pushing, using her deaths as a tool to obtain the ministerial maroquin of Gokhool? Oh shame ... but on whom?
