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.
