Yesterday, Jinder Mahal’s WWE championship win was commended in Canadian Parliament. The congrats were delivered by Graham Sucha (NDP), MP for the Calgary-Shaw riding in Alberta.



Amazingly, Sucha got the line “Don’t Hinder Jinder” into the official transcript. The MP posted video of his congrats on his YouTube channel. Sucha has been in office over 2 years, and this was just the 5th video he has chosen to post.

Yuvraj “Raj” Singh Dhesi was born and raised in Calgary, Alberta, Canada. He is of Indian Punjabi origin. His Uncle was the Great Gama Singh, who wrestled under a similar gimmick in Stampede Wrestling. Gama Singh led the Karachi-Vice stable and feuded with members of the Hart Family.

Jinder’s grandfather emigrated from India to Canada with his family in 1963. The Great Gama Singh was 9 years old at the time.
