Arjan Singh Bhullar has once again made Richmond and Canada proud by becoming the first Punjabi Sikh to win the Mixed Martial Arts ONE Fighting Championship in Singapore. And his hometown Gurdwara, the India Cultural Centre of Canada Gurdwara Nanak Niwas joined the rest of the South Asian community in congratulating Arjan and his family for his achievement. They also honoured him at the Gurdwara last Saturday. In view of the COVID-19 Pandemic, the Gurdwara Management decided to make it a drive through event. Arjan’s well-wishers were invited to congratulate him from their cars and then move on.  Richmond MLA Aman Singh, the first turbaned Sikh MLA in the BC legislature, and Labour Minister Harry Bains are joined in the celebrations. Premier John Horgan also hosted a zoom meeting with the champ this week to congratulate him following twitter love from Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, both of whom celebrated the big win of a proud Canadian athlete.
