I must be missing the part where he says muslims or sikhs only speak to their own communities at the exclusion of the others?

Yes, you must be. I'll try to break it down for you:
When Sikh and Muslim leaders speak, they really speak to their own people.
But I am different because when I, as a white person, speak, I speak to the whole community.
Therefore, when Sikh and Muslim leaders speak, they don't speak to the whole community.
This is what he explicitly said. The only "interpretation" that I have made is the fact that he is distinguishing himself from Mulsim and Sikh leaders but there is absolutely no question that that is what he is doing in that quote. If you have a different interpretation, I would be fascinated to hear it.
