52:12Now PlayingTensions rise as Canada investigates the killing of prominent Sikh leader Hardeep Singh Nijjar, who was gunned down in British Columbia. Sikh and Muslim community leaders have urged the Canadian government to be more proactive in safeguarding their communities amidst this turmoil. Nijjar, who advocated for a sovereign Sikh state in India called Khalistan, had been tagged a "terrorist" by Indian authorities. Prime Minister Justin Trudeau voiced concerns over "credible allegations of a potential link" between Indian government agents and the assassination, a claim that Mukhbir Singh of the World Sikh Organization said was not surprising to the Sikh community. The backdrop is a decades-old Sikh secessionist movement which traces its roots to the 1947 partition of India and Pakistan. This movement's crescendo was in the 1980s, notably marked by the controversial 1984 storming of the Golden Palace, Sikhism's holiest site, by the Indian military. This military action and the subsequent assassination of Prime Minister Indira Gandhi by her Sikh bodyguards sparked a series of violent episodes and claims of Sikh persecution, with the shadows of these events still lingering in today's geopolitics.
