Indian-American Sued Jay Leno For His Golden Temple remark

Randeep Dhillon, an Indo-American has sued US talk show host Jay Leno in Los Angeles Superior Court for his “racist” comments on the Golden Temple and mocking the entire Sikh community by describing the holy shrine as a vacation home.

In his suit, Randeep Dhillon claims, “Jay Leno hurt the sentiments of all Sikh people. Leno’s joke clearly exposes plaintiff, other Sikhs and their religion to hatred, contempt, ridicule and obloquy because it falsely portrays the holiest place in the Sikh religion as a vacation resort owned by a non-Sikh. Previously, in 2007 he called Sikhs ‘diaper heads.’ Clearly, Jay Leno’s racist comments need to be stopped right here.”

Entire Sikh community is outraged and a Sikh rights group also has lodged a complaint with a federal agency demanding action to be taken against Leno and NBC channel for the “racist and derogatory” portrayal of the Golden Temple.

In his joke Leno said that the Golden Temple could be a possible summer home of Mitt Romney, a leading Republican presidential candidate.
