Prepare for an eye-opening episode of Foreign Correspondent on ABC as it delves into the conflict between India and Canada. The tension escalated when Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau publicly accused India of orchestrating the assassination of a Sikh activist on Canadian soil last year, a move that shocked the world.
The gravity of the situation became even more apparent when US authorities later revealed that an Indian agent was involved in an attempted murder of an American Sikh in New York. Now, Foreign Correspondent uncovers new developments as Australian authorities engage with the Sikh community within their borders.
In this episode, South Asia Correspondent Avani Dias travels to Punjab, a region where tensions run high and authorities remain vigilant. As she visits the family home of Hardeep Singh Nijjar, the man murdered in Canada, unusual activity leading up to his killing comes to light. Additionally, Avani gains rare access to leaders of the banned separatist movement who are viewed as extremists by Indian officials. These leaders firmly believe that the Modi government is targeting Sikh separatists worldwide, including those residing in Australia.
