Dear Editor,
I wish to make some observations on the current discussions in your letter columns on who is a good researcher and who is guilty of plagiarism. I do not know Mr. Vishnu Singh but I definitely know Messrs Irfaan Ali and Sasenarine Singh. They are both recognized as rising stars in the organization to which they both belong.
I do not wish to make accusations but will produce facts to substantiate why I think Mr Ali’s response to Vishnu Singh was inadequate and Mr Sasenarine Singh’s support for Mr. Ali was astonishing coming from an academic personality. The only conclusion I can arrive at here is that Sasenarine is seeking to come to the defence of a ‘comrade.’
