Punjab-born Raj Chouhan elected Speaker in British Columbia
By Gurmukh Singh
Vancouver– Punjab-born Raj Chouhan took oath as the Speaker of British Columbia, Canada, becoming the first Indian to occupy this post anywhere outside of India.
Chouhan, who came to Canada from Gauhar village near Ludhiana in 1973, was Deputy Speaker in the outgoing assembly.
He is the five-time MLA of the New Democratic Party (NDP) which retained power in last month’s election, winning 57 seats in the 87-member House.
“It is difficult to describe how thrilled I am with this honour. The feeling has yet to sink in,” Chouhan told IANS after he took oats on Monday.
