"Extra judicial killings cannot be accepted in a country of law."
"The action taken by Hyderabad Police is praiseworthy. In Uttar Pradesh rape is happening every day, be it young girls or aged women, nobody is being spared."
"So the predators have become the prey! Now this is called true poetic justice!"
"The city of Hyderabad was not as lucky the following year. On 21 February 2013, two powerful explosions shook the city. Ammonium Nitrate was used to make the bombs that took seven lives. The modus operandi of these bombings had an IM signature yet again. It proved that a series of arrests might have weakened its network, but it was certainly not out of the game. Sushil Kumar Shinde, the then Home Minister, confirmed that intelligence agencies had some prior information about the attack. However, there was no input about the place of the attack. The blast reignited the debate on security preparedness. The Manmohan Singh government found it hard to explain how an attack had occured despite intelligence inputs. The theory of saffron terrorism and the support of Afzal Guru by some politicians encouraged Pakistan to deny its hand in the terrorist activities before the UN and other international forums it used both as a ruse to deny its role in sponsoring terrorism in India. India’s soft stance to carry forward the dialogue process was further emboldening the Pakistani state."
Young though he was, his radiant energy produced such an impression of absolute reliability that Hedgewar made him the first sarkaryavah, or general secretary, of the RSS.
- Gopal Mukund Huddar
Largely because of the influence of communists in London, Huddar's conversion into an enthusiastic supporter of the fight against fascism was quick and smooth. The ease with which he crossed from one worldview to another betrays the fact that he had not properly understood the world he had grown in.
Huddar would have been 101 now had he been alive. But then centenaries are not celebrated only to register how old so and so would have been and when. They are usually celebrated to explore how much poorer our lives are without them. Maharashtrian public life is poorer without him. It is poorer for not having made the effort to recall an extraordinary life.
I regret I was not there to listen to Balaji Huddar's speech [...] No matter how many times you listen to him, his speeches are so delightful that you feel like listening to them again and again.
By the time he came out of Franco's prison, Huddar had relinquished many of his old ideas. He displayed a worldview completely different from that of the RSS, even though he continued to remain deferential to Hedgewar and maintained a personal relationship with him.
