Washington: India has objected to US television host Jay Leno passing off a visual of the Golden Temple in Amritsar as Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney’s vacation home, terming it “quite unfortunate”.
Visiting Overseas Indian Affairs Minister Vayalar Ravi said Sunday he had directed Indian Ambassador to the US Nirupama Rao to take up with the State Department the issue, featured on Leno’s “The Tonight Show” Thursday.
Romney, the super-wealthy Republican front-runner, is under fire for paying low taxes.
“It is quite unfortunate and quite objectionable that such a comment has been made after showing the Golden Temple,” Ravi told Indian reporters here.
