Lodged by Pam Gosal Standard Motion 30 supporters

The motion

That the Parliament commends the efforts of journalist Mandeep Khurmi Himmatpura on the launch of the UK’s only daily Punjabi e-newspaper Punj Darya, which translates as Five Rivers; appreciates what it sees as the cultural and inclusive nature of the paper, which reports on Scottish, UK-wide and international stories that matter to Sikh communities, and understands that the newspaper, which runs in conjunction with an online radio and web channel and has been very well received by all age groups, plans to expand its offering in the very near future.
