Jay Leno's really taking it on the chin over his joke about Mitt Romney last week.
Leno has taken heat from a religious group after cracking that presidential contender Romney keeps the Golden Temple in Amritsar, India, as his summer home. And how he's being sued by a religious organizer who claims that Leno libeled the entire Sikh religion with his joke.
In court papers filed in Los Angeles Superior Court on Tuesday and obtained by TheWrap, Dr. Randeep Dhillon, who does business as Bol Punjabi All Regions Community Organization, claims that Leno "hurt the sentiments of all Sikh people in addition to those of the plaintiff" with his joke. Dhillon further claims that 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."

Assembly polls 2012: Akal Takht blasts leaders going to Dera
There is trouble brewing for political leaders thronging deras for last-minute efforts to woo voters.
Akal Takht head priest Giani Gurbachan Singh said here on Sunday that he would examine how many of the Sikh political leaders had violated the Akal Takht edict barring the Sikhs from maintaining any links with Dera Sacha Sauda chief Ram Rahim Singh. In 2007 five head priests at the Akal Takht ordained that the Sikhs would not keep any links with the dera chief accused of blasphemy. The Akal Takht edict (hukamnaama) was issued after the dera chief had failed to appear before the Takht to explain his act of blasphemy.
