SURREY – Outspoken Congress leader Sukhpal Khaira, who has been critical of the ruling Badal family and their ministerial relative Bikramjit Singh Majithia’s connection to the drug trade in Punjab, will be visiting Canada from September 11 to 30th where he hopes to connect with a wider Punjabi Diaspora, he said in a news release.
“Needless to mention, Punjabi brothers and sisters have excelled greatly in all spheres of Canada, which is a matter of great pride and satisfaction for all of us living back here in India. I am also grateful to the Canadian system of governance, that has given equal and fair opportunities to all mankind, irrespective of caste, color, creed or religion,” Khaira said.
“I also believe that Indo-Punjabi community of Canada is contributing immensely, to the holistic growth of this beautiful country.
“I am in fact deeply impressed by the high level of awareness amongst the Indo-Punjabi community in all spheres, including social, religious, political and economic. We need to use this great experience, to generate similar wider horizons amongst our fellowmen back home here in India, particularly Punjab,” Khaira said.
Khaira said he would like to try and understand the developed model of Canadian govt. system, particularly education, healthcare, law and order, traffic regulation and above all peace, tranquility and harmony in this wonderful country.
