India will be taking up the issue of popular US television host Jay Leno’s remarks about Amritsar’s Golden Temple with the US authorities and observed that most of the late night shows in America are “flippant”. “The late night talkshows are flippant most of the time in the US,” external affairs minister S.M. Krishna said.

He, however, said talkshow hosts should be “extremely sensitive to the sensitivities of religious group” within their country and outside. Leno, the host of the popular The Tonight Show on NBC channel, flashed a picture of the Golden Temple on his programme and termed it as a possible summer home of Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney.
