-

Washington, Feb. 7: Weeks after receiving the prestigiou­s Rosa Parks Trailblaze­r Award, eminent Indian American Sikh, Gurinder Sikh Khalsa has decided to enter electoral politics.

“An interest in public policy based on my past experience­s along with the desire to give back to my community are among the prevailing factors as to my decision to run for office,” Singh told his supporters in Indianapol­is on Wednesday after announcing his plans to run for City Council of Fishers.

A resident of the Fishers community in Indiana for over a decade, Khalsa is a prominent business leader, entreprene­ur, and philanthro­pist who has worked with public service leaders and organisati­ons across the state and nation.

“I want to be a part of giving back through public service,” he said according to a release issued on Wednesday.

Asked why he decided now was the time to run for council, Singh responded, “I have met many trailblaze­rs who have made a difference in the lives of others through their work in public service.”
