US plays down Leno comments as satirical
The US Government has taken the stand that comedian Jay Leno’s comments on the skit involving the Golden Temple are “satirical” and protected by the US’s constitutional right to free speech. At the same time, Washington sought to reassure the Sikh community about its respect for their faith.The comments by State Department spokesperson Victoria Nuland came ahead of a meeting that Deputy Chief of Mission Arun Singh had with Assistant Secretary of State for South and Central Asia Robert Blake.
While there was no immediate official word on the meeting, Singh is understood to have conveyed India’s views on the issue. The embassy is also said to have written a “strong letter” to NBC, which broadcasts Leno’s The Tonight Show .
Earlier, asked to react to the controversy over Leno using a visual of the Golden Temple for a political joke against Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney, Nuland commented: “Well, I think that Leno would be appreciative - I hope he’ll be appreciative - if we make the point that his comments are constitutionally protected in the United States under free speech, and frankly, they appear to be satirical in nature.”
“From a US official Government perspective, we have absolute respect for all the people of India, including Sikhs here, there,” Nuland said.
Pointing out that Barack Obama is the first US President to have hosted a celebration in honour of Guru Nanak, Nuland said: “Our view is, obviously, that Sikh Americans have contributed greatly to the United States.
