Punjabis wherever they have gone have made a mark and led a decent example to prove their existence. Well, if you don’t agree with this, you should know that in Canada where every Punjabi dreams of moving to, comes out to be a place where you will find a Punjabi to be the third language in Canada’s House of Commons. Punjabi acquired a 3rd position after English and French, in the House of Commons after no less than 230 Punjabi candidates were elected to the Parliament in the month of October.
As per the reports of Hill Time online, in total, 23 lawmakers of Indian-origin were elected after October 19 Parliament of Canada in the 19 October Parliamentary elections. Three of the 23 lawmakers do not speak Punjabi. So you can eye up the Punjabi lads who are raising their existence and making a mark in some other country.
The recent designated Prime minister of Canada Justin Trudeau will unravel his Cabinet later this week. His Cabinet might include some lawmakers from Punjabi origin, which is quite interesting to know.
From Liberal Party Navdeep Bains said “the elected 20 Punjabi-speaking lawmakers represent all constituents regardless of their party affiliation or ethnic origin. It speaks to our commitment to diversity and allowing individual to play an important role in our political institutions.”
From Conservative Party Deepak Obhrai added “The voice of the Indo-Canadian community will now be very well represented in the parliament. In the overall aspect of it, the South Asian community won.”
According to the Survey conducted in 2011 of National household it was determined 430,705 Canadians identified Punjabi as their mother tongue, making it the third most common language after English and French.
Well, the 20 Punjabi speaking lawmaker makes around 6 percent of the people in the House of Commons.
Of the 20 who speak Punjabi, 18 are Liberals and two are Conservatives. Among the newly-elected Punjabi-speaking MPs, 14 are males and six are females. Ontario elected 12, British Columbia four, Alberta three and one is from Quebec.
And so it reflects, that for years the Punjabi lads who were jabbed with Kaneda cliché are laddering to new heights and they are no more offered just a taxi driver job in Toronto. They have all the highs to make.
