LUDHIANA: Arpan Khanna, a young Punjabi residing in Canada, has brought glory to the Punjabi community by winning the Member of Parliament (MP) seat in the Oxford by-election held in the Ontario province. Arpan Khanna, hailing from Raikot city in Ludhiana district, emerged victorious after the seat became vacant due to the retirement of Conservative Party MP Dave Malenji.

The by-election witnessed a keenly contested race, with candidates from various parties vying for the Oxford seat, including Charlie Baker from the Green Party and Cody Gott from the NDP.
