Politicians need to emulate ideals of Mohidin: Ex CM Siddaramaiah
Nudi Namana to BA Mohidin
Mangaluru, July 20: Former chief minister Siddaramaiah said that more than being the Muslim leader, BA Mohidin had become a leader of the entire society because of his selfless attitude and honesty.
Speaking at the Nudinamana programme after the release of “Nannolagina Naanu”, an autobiography of former minister BA Mohidin, at the town hall here on Friday, Siddaramaiah said that he was honest in politics and lived a ideal life. Throughout his life, he had followed ideal life for which he was ready for any kind of sacrifice. He had never indulged in selfish politics. He had love and respect to all. Present day politicians should emulate his ideals in politics, he said.
He was against communalism and he used to tell that a movement like freedom movement was the need of the hour to check communalism in the society. He believed that if such a movement was not led, then there would not be any communal harmony in the society. Toiling for creating value-based politics in the society, he was encouraging the education of Muslim girls, he said.
There was no friend and foe in politics. Anybody could become anything. But BA Mohidin did not give up his ideology till his last breath. He was committed in politics. It would be a
real honour to him if his dreams were fulfilled, he said.
Speaker KR Ramesh Kumar said that Mohidin did not run behind power and he was not craved for it. But he used to get pain if his followers did not get power. Mohidin was beyond all criticism, allegations and other problems. If he was not the Speaker, he would have told all truths and irony, he added.
“Myself, Ramesh Kumar, Jayaprakash Hegde and BA Mohidin are
contemporary leaders. We were ready for any sacrifice for social values and
justice. Then Chief Minister JH Patel had alliance with the BJP, we resigned
from the cabinet and became neutral. Then truth, justice and honesty were
important for us. Now, such people are not eligible for politics. It was
clearly mentioned in the book ‘Nannolagina Naanu’”, said former minister MC
Nanaiah.
Minister UT Khader said that Mohidin was the companion of his
father UT Fareed and he was a guide to him. He used to get advice from Mohidin
whenever he confronted problems, Khader recalled.
MLC BM Farooq, Bearys Institution head Syed Muhammad Beary, leaders Ivan D’Souza, Yogish Bhat, Mayor Bhaskar Moily, CPM district secretary K Vasanth Achari, SDPI district president Attaullah Jokatte, Tabreez Jokatte spoke on Mohidin. Teekays organization head Umar Teekay, Yenepoya head Yenepoya Abdulla Kunhi, autobiography narrators Mohemmad Kulai and BA Muhammad Ali, Mohidin’s sons Abdul Qadir Mushtaq and Asif Masood, son-in-law Ahmed Sharief and Muhammad Nawaz were present.

UK workers face some of Europe's greatest job stress: Report
London: British workers are facing some of the highest levels of job stress in Europe, with long working hours, tight deadlines, and limited autonomy, without being any more productive, according to a new report. The findings come as the UK's new Labour government prepares to introduce tougher regulations for employers.
The report, produced by the Commission for Healthier Working Lives — a body set up by the Britain's Health Foundation think tank and trade union representation — reveals that three-fifths of the UK workforce experience tight deadlines, and two-fifths had to work at high speed, as cited by Reuters on Monday. These figures are among the largest proportions in Europe. In contrast, only a third of workers have the autonomy to choose the pace of their work.
Jonny Gifford, principal research fellow at the Institute for Employment Studies and one of the report's authors, stressed that long hours, work intensity, and lack of control are problem areas that should be addressed.
The report noted that workers in certain sectors, particularly construction, transport, warehouses, retail, and hospitality, face the most demanding conditions, while professional roles like teaching and nursing also reported particular strain.
The report highlighted that the UK ranks poorly across nearly every measure of workplace demands, control, and job strain in comparison to other European nations. About half of the UK's workforce reported feeling exhausted from work, and stress levels have risen significantly over the past 25 years.
