Vishal DadlanI, singer and music composer,who is also star campaigner for AAP, had on Saturday raked up a controversy after he mocked Digambar Jain monk Tarun Sagar for giving a speech in Haryana assembly.This comment received severe backlash from the jain community and politicians, following which the music director and singer announced on Twitter that he was quitting from all active political work and affiliations.
Dadlani had tweeted the following: “If you voted for these people, YOU are responsible for this absurd nonsense! No #AchcheDin, just #NoKachcheDin.”
However, soon after the singer made this tweet, he was ridiculed by several Jain sect followers. Dadlani was quick to reply to everyone with an apology: “I apologise to you too, wholeheartedly, Sir. I hope that religion and governance can be separated, for Indias sake. I am sorry to have offended you and your beliefs too, Sir. My intent was not to hurt anyone. Spoke without thinking.”
‘It feel bad that I hurt my Jain friends & my friends @ArvindKejriwal & @SatyendarJain .I hereby quit all active political work/affiliation,’ Dadlani tweeted soon after.
