involvement
WSN Network
 MISSION HILLS,
CA: Visiting Congress MLA from
Qila Raipur,
Jassi Khangura, addressed Southern
California’s
non-resident Indians at a banquet hosted
by Gary Grewal
and asked them to take notice of the Punjab Government’s wasteful
spending and false promises. Khaira, a hotelier and industrialist,
talked of his macro dairy ventures that he claimed helped reduce
rural unemployment, infanticide and foeticide, and pleaded with the
NRIs to involve themselves at all levels of
Punjab’s
development. Khaira’s exposition seemed to have impressed many of
his audience.
The program was
also organized by some of the community leaders including Gary
Grewal, Rattan Singh Joea, Jagdish Khangura and Mani Sidhu in
Northridge,
California. Among those present were
Paul Sahota,
Congress leader and businessman from
Fresno, Atma
Singh Grewal who hails from Qila Raipur village, Ranjit Grewal and
Mukhtiar Kamboj,
Chairman Sikh
Gurdwara of
Los Angeles .Dr.
Amarjit Singh Marwah, Harry Sidhu, Gunwant S. Grewal, Lahori Ram,
Bhupinder Sidhu and many others appreciated Khangura’s vision.
Gunwant S. Grewal, the ex-MP from
Vancouver, BC,
lauded
Khangura’s politics and future plans while Parladh Singh Grewal
underlined the NRIs’ problems.
Khangura
exhorted the NRIs not to wait anymore for the state government to
resolve the NRI-related issues and said this is not a short-term
domain area and the Badal government has failed to honour its
commitments to NRIs made at the Government samellan in Jalandhar
last January.
