"Mirza Fakhrul asked the activists to come to Dhaka with extra clothes to seize power. So do we stand to eat lollipop? We are also ready. BNP will be blocked if they block. The fate of BNP will be worse than Shapla square. Sheikh Hasina will not bow down.”"
""Where did so many bodies go? That account should be given to the opposition.” BNP claims that 2500 people were killed that day. How much ammunition is needed to kill two and a half thousand people? How many thousands of bullets are needed? How many more people would have been injured?” If so many people are killed, where are their relatives? Rumors are being spread by the opposition about the murder. They have to tell how many bodies are in a truck. She (Khaleda Zia) is the wife of an army officer. He must have good knowledge of ammunition. After the Asr prayer, Hefazet Islam Shapla was assured to leave the premises after offering prayers and they were allowed to assemble."
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.
