Khosla GD on Khawaja Nazimuddin

“Khwaja Nazimuddin was an even more conscientious Muslim Leaguer. He was more forthright than Mr. Suhrawardy and was far more hostile to the Hindus. He had more experience of administrative matters and his advice and assistance were of inestimable value -in drawing up the programme for the Direct Action Day and in implementing it. He reaped his reward later by succeeding Mr. Jinnah as the Governor-General of Pakistan.”

“[Referring to the assertions of leading Muslim League leaders, said speaker Syed Muhammad Abdul Jalil:] ‘‘Their (Hindu’s) attack and their conduct is based on nonviolence but… our representatives, Qaid-e-Azam (Jinnah), Nazimuddin and Suhrawardy, have made it clear that, to us, nonviolence means nothing. When we want to fight, we shall make use of whatever weapons we have.’’”
