Nithyananda
The UN has said that it will ignore any remarks made at two official events by representatives of a fictional nation created by a fugitive Indian 'godman', Nithyananda.In February, participants from the United States of Kailasa attended two meetings of a UN committee in Geneva, as reported by the BBC.
Their remarks, according to a UN official, were "tangential" and "irrelevant" to the topics under discussion.
Nithyananda is wanted in India for a number of alleged offences, including rape and sexual abuse. He has refuted the allegations made against him.
He claims to have created the United States of Kailasa (USK) in 2019.
Indian media covered USK's attendance at the UN events last week.

She also said that a statement made by a USK representative at the second discussion would not be taken into accountas its focus "was tangential to the topic at hand".
Nithyananda hasn't appeared in public since 2019, yet he still frequently posts sermon videos on his social media accounts. The Guardian newspaper claimed in a report that, on the invitation of two Tory lawmakers, Nithyananda's UK representative attended "a sumptuous Diwali celebration at the House of Lords" last year.
