00:36 within the scope of the dignity of the concerned country's constitution.
00:41 The SGBC called for a sincere approach by both India and Canada to bring to light the
00:46 truth behind these allegations, stressing that allowing political motivations to suppress

01:07 action against those individuals and entities tarnishing the image of Sikhs.
