Mahesh Bindra, first Indian MP from New Zealand First, was sworn in as Member of Parliament today. It was a proud moment for every Kiwi-Indian, as he held the Hindu scripture ‘The Gita’ in his hands while swearing in and taking the oath in Maori language. Bindra is among the three Kiwi-Indians leaders who made it to the Parliament this year. We look forward to more representation of our community and improved engagement at the national level.
