Raj has been DJing since he discovered a faulty switch on his Hi-Fi allowed him to play records and tapes at the same time, 17 years later and Raj’s prolific turntable skills, sagely club savvy and the astonishing depth and breadth of his musical knowledge makes him an awesome performer.
Raj went much deeper and, besides his enviable technical ability on the decks, he was innovating new tricks i'd never seen or heard before too.

EDMONTON – New Democrat Opposition Leader Raj Pannu said today that despite the rosy picture being painted by Learning Minister Lyle Oberg, when school boards sit down to actually crunch the numbers, this year’s budget allocations are clearly not adequate to address the class size recommendations set out in the Learning Commission report.
Pannu was commenting on the class size survey released by Edmonton Public showing huge increases in class sizes over last year.
Pannu said the direction of the report shows that the Conservative government was wrong when it ignored parents and Opposition pleas for more education funding.

Pannu then reportedly responded by saying that it was up to Albertans to decide whether they would tolerate such remarks from their elected representatives.

When Edmonton-Strathcona MLA and retired sociology professor Raj Pannu took over as the leader of the wounded and struggling Alberta New Democratic Party in 2000, he knew it wasn’t going to be easy.
Pannu, as the only other Democrat, was chosen as the one who would direct the rebuilding process, who would bring the Alberta New Democrats back into legitimacy.
Sure, says Pannu, they’re still a two-member caucus, but he feels that while the gains the NDP has made in Alberta since their 1993 defeat aren’t as tangible as an increase in seats would be, they’ve by no means been less meaningful.

However, since the Premier made that commitment, high-income Albertans got the first windfall as the Klein government eliminated the high-income surtax.
Pannu also released information detailing the comparative effects of the current Conservative, Liberal and New Democratic proposals for tax reduction.

Pannu, once a Sociology professor at the University of Alberta, has been in Canada for 37 years.
But there is a temptation to assume - as even Raj Pannu seems to - that any representative who is intolerant does not accurately represent the public.
To my mind, this means that when Strang told Pannu "Go back to India," on Monday, there is a considerable chance that he may have in fact very accurately voiced the opinions of a lot of Albertans.
