iir,Rahimtoolah , s intervention in Gwadur affairs is admittedly
a nuisance, and many of his requests and suggestions betray a
complete ignorance of the situation and a very uninformed
estimate of what is possible and what is not. But his criticism
is in no way malevolent. He makes no accusations on his own
account but simply acts as "

Elected representative or attorney, acting in legal matters such as contracting marriage, inheritance, or business; a high-ranking legal official; could also refer to a custodian or administrator.
" for his co-religionists,
for whom he is naturally anxious that they should get justice,
which, you will admit, it is at least doubtful whether they
have succeeded in getting. As for his locus standi the
appearance of the politician in matters of this sort is a sign
of the times which one just has to accept. It therefore strikes
me, if you will permit me to say so, as rather silly on Powle's
part
