Mr. Speaker, this past Sunday at the Gurdwara Sahib Brookside Canadian Ramgarhia Society in Surrey—Newton, I attended the 301st birthday celebration of Maharaja Jassa Singh Ramgarhia.
In the 18th century under the banner of the Dal Khalsa, which was a confederacy of Sikh military units, Maharaja Jassa Singh Ramgarhia was a distinguished military strategist who left a lasting mark on Sikh history. His leadership was characterized by strategic brilliance and a strong commitment to defending Sikh interests.
I want to thank Gurdwara Sahib Brookside Canadian Ramgarhia Society president, Balbir Singh Chana; public relations person and past president, Surinder Singh Jabal; and all its members for their unwavering dedication to building a better, more inclusive community for all.
