Vishal Dadlani booked over tweet on Jain Guru Tarun Sagar

TIL Desk/National/Mumbai-The Mumbai Police have received a complaint against composer-singer Vishal Dadlani for his comment against Digambar Jain guru Tarun Sagar, mocking the latter for making a speech in Haryana assembly naked. Dadlani had tweeted the following: “If you voted for these people, YOU are responsible for this absurd nonsense! No #AchcheDin, just #NoKachcheDin.”

Jain guru Tarun Sagar is a saint of Digambar sect of Jainism, who don’t wear clothes as a part of their religious practice. 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.”

Delhi CM and AAP Chief Arvind Kejriwal too took to Twitter to praise the Jain monk and said that his family deeply respects Tarun Sagar.
