- Jagdish Singh (Jag) Bhaduria (also variously spelled Badauria or Bhadauria) (born January 23, 1940 in New Delhi, India) is an Indian-Canadian teacher. He served as the Member of Parliament for the Ontario riding of Markham—Whitchurch-Stouffville in the 35th Parliament of Canada, from 1993 to 1997. Bhaduria was nominated as the Liberal candidate in the riding of Markham and contested the 1988 federal election, placing a distant second to Progressive Conservative incumbent Bill Attewell. In the 1993 election their fortunes reversed, with Bhaduria defeating Attewell by a nearly two to one margin. In early 1994 a series of controversies emerged, including that he had falsified his educational credentials by using postnominal letters which appeared to indicate he held a law degree, and that he had written threatening letters to his school board after being turned down for promotions. He denied that he lied about his education and apologized for the letters, however the controversies led to him leaving the Liberal caucus. After he declined to give up his seat in Parliament, the Reform Party led a petition drive to have his seat vacated, which was unsuccessful. He served the remainder of his term as an Independent Liberal. He ran as an independent in the 1997 election, earning less than 4% of the vote. (en)
