Did India kill a Canadian Sikh leader in B.C.?
Hardeep Singh Nijjar was shot and killed outside his gurdwara in Surrey in June just after evening prayers. While the Sikh community has been urging investigators to get the bottom of what happened, it\u2019s been quiet until a bombshell announcement from Prime Minister Trudeau on Monday: Canada believes there are \u201ccredible allegations\u201d the Indian government was behind it. \n\nSince then it\u2019s been a diplomatic firestorm. Diplomats are being pulled from both Canada and India and Canada\u2019s allies are weighing next moves. But who was Hardeep Singh Nijjar and why do some, particularly members of the Sikh community, believe the Indian government wanted him dead?\n\nJaskaran Sandhu from Baaz News and the World Sikh Organization takes us through who Nijjar was, the reasons he feared for his life and the long-standing tensions between India and the Sikh community.\n\nFor transcripts of this series, please visit: https://www.cbc.ca/radio/frontburner/transcripts
