Religious leaders of various faiths are seeking a public apology from Idaho Sen. Sheryl Nuxoll for a statement she made regarding the Hindu faith.
Nuxoll told members of the media in Boise Friday that she would not apologize for her comments.
Rajan Zed, a Hindu leader who delivered the invocation at the start of the workday Tuesday in the Idaho Legislature’s Senate chamber, issued a press release Friday calling for the apology. Zed noted Nuxoll said: “Hindu is a false faith with false gods.”
Nuxoll, R-Cottonwood, and two other state senators, including Steve Vick of Dalton Gardens, refused to attend the invocation.
