'
Kooner said, "I come from a singing family myself, and Jazzy B did sing part of my dad's song about thirty years ago. I really appreciated that. And, so I wanna just welcome Jazzy B and also Sabi Gunnar, Inderpal Moga, Chani Nattan, who I know from the community, Marco, Mander.'
"And I think that's about it. Thank you," he concluded.
Reacting to the welcome video by BC Conservatives and NDP shared by Nat Telegraph journalist Wyatt Claypool, Vancouver-Quilchena representative Brodie wrote, "Today several prominent pro-Kalistani figures were welcomed in the BC Legislature by MLAs of both the BC Conservatives and NDP.
Some of those individuals have openly celebrated violent extremists and murderers in their music videos. This is an insult to our Legislature.

Claypool had shared the video with the caption, 'Here is one MLA doing a shout-out of all the pro-terror rappers.'
In a separate post, Claypool wrote, 'What's with all the MLAs in the BC legislature introducing all the Khalistani rappers today? Jazzy B is a hardcore Khalistani activist who has several times called for Khalistan,' he added.

SAD rebel faction seeks reopening of Kartarpur Corridor
1 2 Amritsar: On the occasion of India's 79th Independence Day, Harpreet Singh, president of the reorganised Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD), invoked the painful legacy of Partition, calling it a "religious injustice" that continues to haunt Sikhs. Addressing a gathering, Harpreet Singh said Punjab and Bengal bore the brunt of India's freedom struggle, only to be brutally divided in 1947. "While Delhi celebrated, Punjab burned. The British departure unleashed a wave of hatred that claimed nearly a million lives. Children were butchered, and elders and women, unable to bear the horror, took their own lives," he said. He lamented that Sikhs were forced to abandon their sacred gurdwaras in Pakistan and resettle in Punjab in India. "We left behind our soul," he said, referring to revered shrines such as Sri Nankana Sahib, Gurdwara Panja Sahib, Kartarpur Sahib, Dera Sahib in Lahore, and Sacha Sauda. "Even today, Sikhs cannot freely visit these sites. The Kartarpur Corridor gave us hope, but it too became a victim of politics and diplomatic tensions. " Drawing a comparison, Harpreet Singh said, "Muslims can go for Hajj without visa denials or border restrictions. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like This Could Be the Best Time to Trade Gold in 5 Years IC Markets Learn More Undo But a Sikh must beg for a visa to bow before Guru Nanak Dev Ji's birthplace. This is religious injustice on a global scale." He also spoke of elderly Sikhs who died with unfulfilled dreams of revisiting their childhood homes across the border, and similarly, elders in Pakistan who longed to return to ancestral villages in India. "Those responsible for this pain will never find peace—not even after death. The souls of the 10 lakh martyrs will not rest until justice is done," he said. Appeal to reopen Kartarpur Corridor ahead of Jyoti Jot Diwas In a related statement, officiating Akal Takht Jathedar Giani Kuldip Singh Gargaj urged the central government to reopen the Kartarpur Corridor ahead of Guru Nanak Dev Ji's Jyoti Jot Diwas. He recalled the horrors of 1947, when Punjab witnessed massacres and displacement. "Sikhs on the western side of Punjab lost their fertile lands and over 200 sacred gurdwaras, including Sri Nankana Sahib. This grief is embedded in our daily prayers," he said. The corridor, opened during the 550th Prakash Gurpurb of Guru Nanak Dev Ji, had enabled emotional reunions at Kartarpur Sahib. However, recent Indo-Pak tensions led to its closure. "With Jyoti Jot Diwas approaching, reopening the corridor would allow the sangat to pay homage at this sacred site. We urge the government to act swiftly," he said.

No clarity yet on BC quota as Cong postpones PAC meet
Hyderabad: The crucial political affairs committee (PAC) meeting of the Telangana Congress , originally scheduled for Aug 17, has been postponed and is now likely to be held between Aug 22 and Aug 24. The PAC, which comprises the chief minister, deputy chief minister, TPCC chief, AICC leader Meenakshi Natarajan, ministers, govt advisors, and senior leaders of the party, was expected to decide on the schedule for panchayat elections and the way forward for extending the 42% quota to the BCs in local bodies. According to party sources, the postponement of the PAC meeting was due to the absence of Telangana AICC in charge Meenakshi Natarajan from the city, among other factors.

"It was proposed that the chief minister, along with Meenakshi and Telangana Congress president B Mahesh Kumar Goud, will take a final call on panchayat polls and the BC quota based on the majority opinion in the PAC meeting," said a senior Congress leader. With the high court setting Sept 30 deadline to complete the panchayat election process, and limited time available to legally extend the 42% quota to the BCs, there is speculation that the chief minister may decide on the matter without waiting for the PAC meeting. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like American Investor Warren Buffett Recommends: 5 Books For Turning Your Life Around Blinkist: Warren Buffett's Reading List Undo The possibility of the chief minister consulting key party leaders over the phone or in person with those available in the city is also not being ruled out. A senior leader of the Telangana Congress said, "Revanth Reddy has to convene a cabinet meeting to seek approval for whatever course of action the govt adopts to extend the 42% BC quota, as well as to decide the dates and number of phases for the local body polls." "The chief minister, in a day or two, will take a call on whether to hold the cabinet meeting before the PAC, keeping in view the paucity of time to complete local bodies election process," the leader further said. The options before the state govt include issuing a GO or an ordinance to implement the 42% BC quota in local bodies after assessing whether such a move will survive legal scrutiny, given that the 50% cap has not been removed from the Panchayat Raj Act of 2018; approaching the Supreme Court with a writ of mandamus, or extending the enhanced BC quota on behalf of the party.
