BA Mohidin has universal personality: Prof KE Radhakrishna
Second edition of ‘Nannolagina Naanu’ book released in Bengaluru
Bengaluru, September 10: “BA Mohidin was a modern age Sufi saint. He was taking much effort to complete the work he accepted. Without confining his personality within himself, he has universal personality”, said educationist and writer Prof KE Radhakrishna.
Speaking at the release of the second edition of the ‘Nannolagina Naanu’, an autobiography of BA Mohindi, narrated by Muhammad Kulai and BA Muhammad Ali, at a programme organized by the Beary’s Welfare Association at a private hotel here on Monday, he said that the characters in the book would haunt the readers. One could observe the compassion in it. Communal harmony and brotherhood in the Dakshina Kannada district is visible in the book. Nowadays, the society is in glitter. But the society should emulate the ideology of BA Mohidin, he said.
Right from his young age, Mohidin was opposing the hatredness.”I have studied in Christian school. But they never called me for prayer. Instead, they asked us to do horticulture work. Both are same”, he said in his autobiography. He has rejected the power and arrogance, he said.
Journalist BM Hanief said that in coastal region, BM Idinabba and BA Mohidin were two great leaders. Mohidin has never declared that he has done good things or achieved a great thing. But he lived his life in a simple way and thus, he became a model to others, he said.
MLC BM Farooq presided over the programme in which, JDS national spokesperson Tanveer Ahmed, Mohidin’s younger son Mushtaq and others were present.
Communal harmony disturbed in DK
Dakshina Kannada district was known for communal harmony. But because of one person, the district was losing its credit, said Prof KE Radhakrishna.
“I could still remember the communal harmony I have seen during my childhood days. Mohidin has even shared those moments in the book. In any programmes at our home, the Beary family members used to come to our home and participate in all activities and celebrations. In the same way, we used to go to their programmes. But now, such a beautiful relationship and society is destroyed for the gains of a few”, he said.

DMK seeks separate seating in Lok Sabha after split with Congress alliance
New Delhi: Kanimozhi Karunanidhi has written to the Lok Sabha Speaker seeking a separate seating arrangement for Members of Parliament belonging to the Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK) following the end of the party’s alliance with the Indian National Congress.
In a letter dated May 7 addressed to the Speaker of the Lok Sabha, Kanimozhi said the changed political situation made it inappropriate for DMK MPs to continue sitting alongside Congress members in the House.
She requested the Speaker to make “suitable changes” in the seating arrangement of the DMK Parliamentary Party and allot separate seating for its MPs.
“In view of the changed political circumstances and as our alliance with the Indian National Congress has come to an end, it may not be appropriate for our Members to continue occupying the present seating arrangement alongside them in the House,” the letter stated.
Kanimozhi further said separate seating would help DMK members effectively discharge their responsibilities in the Lok Sabha.
