Popular Post paapiman Posted July 8, 2018 Popular Post Report Share Posted July 8, 2018 Quote OTTAWA—Jagmeet Singh is working for free. The federal NDP leader — who isn’t on the public payroll because he remains unelected — has never drawn a salary from his party and doesn’t intend to receive a paycheque until its finances “significantly” improve, his press secretary says.

amardeep Posted July 8, 2018 Author Report Share Posted July 8, 2018 I doubt that he will win the election in 2019 but the fact that he is contributing to bringing Sikhs on the map and mainstreaming the Roop is a great success in itself. Maybe in 2030-2040 a Sikh will be able to rule a western country 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
