Golden Temple jibe: India takes up issue with US US defends TV host’s right to free speech


Strongly objecting to the remark on the Golden Temple by popular US television host Jay Leno, India has formally taken up the matter with the US authorities.

Arun K Singh, Deputy Chief of the Indian mission in Washington, met Robert Blake, a senior diplomat in the Obama administration dealing with South and Central Asia affairs, and conveyed New Delhi’s displeasure over Leno’s comment, official sources said.

Leno, the host of the popular ‘The Tonight Show’ on NBC channel, flashed a picture of the Golden Temple, the holiest shrine of Sikhs, on his programme and termed it as a possible summer home of Republic presidential candidate Mitt Romney.
