Mangaluru, July 18: Former minister BA Mohidin's autobiography 'Nannolagina Naanu' would be released at the Town Hall here on July 20 at 4 pm.
Speaking to reporters here on Wednesday, autobiography narrators BA Mohammad Ali and Mohammad Kulai said that former Vice-chancellor Dr BA Vivek Rai would release the autobiography.
‘Nudi Namana’, in memory of late BA Mohidin would also be held on the occasion. Former Chief Minister Siddaramaiah, Speaker KR Ramesh Kumar, former minister MC Nanaiah, Ministers UT Khader, Zameer Ahmed Khan, MLCs BM Farooq, Ivon D’Souza, MLA D Vedavyas Kamath, educationist Prof Radhakrishna Bengaluru, Mayor Bhaskar Moily, Chairman of Bearys Group Syed Muhammad Beary, Karavali Education Institution's Chairman Ganesh Rao, Chancellor of Yenepoya university Yenepoya Abdul Kunhi, Varthabharati Editor-in-Chief Abdussalam Puthige, Umar Teekay of Teekays , CPI District secretary V Kukyan, CPM district secretary K Vasanth Achari, SDPI District president Athaullah Jokatte would take part in it, Mohammed Ali said.
" We tried to write the autobiography of BA Mohidin for the last four years. But he did not respond to it positively. He had said that he did not do any achievements and had done his duty. When he was pressurised to explain about his life as it would be an inspiration to the next generation, he had agreed to narrate his story. When he was asked questions, he answered them very happily. As a result, ‘Nannolagina Naanu’ is now ready for release, said Muhammad Kulai.
After completing the book, they read the entire book before him at Mangaluru and Bengaluru where he was admitted to hospitals. He was so happy and waiting for its release. After seeing the invitation card, he gave some suggestions for the success of the programme. But his demise before the release of his autobiography was a great loss to the society. But they have the satisfaction of recording his life, achievements and values, said Muhammad Ali.
The 232 page book would cost Rs 250 and on the day of release, it would be sold at Rs 200. The book would be sent to all universities and schools and college libraries besides, MLAs, MPs, former MLAs and his political colleagues. Already, Mohidin fans have come forward to supply the book to the libraries of universities and schools and colleges across the state, Muhammad Kulai said.
BA Mohidin son Asif Masood, son-in-law Ahmed Sharief were present at the press conference.

US rules out use of nuclear weapons against Iran
Washington DC: The White House has reportedly ruled out the use of nuclear weapons against Iran, even as uncertainty continues over ongoing peace negotiations and a deadline set by US President Donald Trump approaches.
Issues bout a possible escalation had increased after US Vice President JD Vance said that the United States has “tools in our toolkit that we so far haven’t decided to use” in dealing with Iran.
His remarks came amid rising tensions and ahead of a deadline linked to peace efforts.
The situation has attracted attention as Trump warned Iran that its “whole civilization will die tonight tonight” if an agreement is not reached by Tuesday at 8 pm.
This statement led to speculation about the possibility of extreme military measures, including a nuclear strike.
Following Vance’s comments, the White House issued a clarification distancing itself from such interpretations. In a post on X, it said, "Literally nothing @VP said here 'implies' this, you absolute buffoons." In a later statement, it added that “only the president knows” what action will be taken regarding Iran.
Literally nothing @VP said here "implies" this, you absolute buffoons https://t.co/7JU3wXMaWX
