Open Letter to Mr Verma

A friend's views on your egotistic pursuits concerning the Fiji Students' Association:

Having lost the election for Presidency last year, you pledged your full support to the Association, and claimed that the belter man had won, in your final speech.

As we all know, your petition was the object of much ridicule, and is still a great joke amongst Fiji students. Your performance, we all know, at the S.G.M. was even worse.

After all that stirring we sat back and said give these young jokers a go, and so far they haven't done too badly. But you weren't satisfied. I was truly amazed when you told me that you had seen some top brass to lay a charge of defamation against someone who had written your name on the toilet wall of a pub frequented by Fiji students.

And another big stir when a lady-friend of yours wasn't allowed into the last Fiji social, free of charge, although you grabbed her arm and walked inside, only to be thrown out by the doorman. Calling people 'nincompoops' and crying that it was a matter of 'principles and ethics' won't get anyone anywhere.

The claim before the last election was that you were the most qualified to be president. What's next?

Knowing how you take criticism I have not revealed my name as it would put our friendship in jeopardy, but I do hope this letter makes you take a look at yourself, and what you stand for, more closely. And for our faculty's sake, please get it out of your head that you represent the entire Law Faculty, as far as the Fiji students are concerned.
