Music director and singer Vishal Dadlani, celebrity supporter of Aam Aadmi Party (AAP), has announced he is quitting all political work after his tweet on Jain religious leader Tarun Sagar triggered a huge outcry.

In a tweet on Saturday, music director Vishal Dadlani had mocked the Jain leader’s address to the Haryana assembly on Friday.

He clearly said in his tweet, referring to the naked monk’s address to the Haryana assembly, that he has a problem with religion and governance going hand in hand.

(2) That dude has the same education, as he has clothes on. None. I've no problem with nudity. I have a problem with religion in governance.

AAP chief and Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal termed the tweet “unfortunate”.

Tarun Sagar ji Maharaj is a very reverred saint, not just for jains but everyone. Those showing disrespect is unfortunate and shud stop

Delhi Home Minister Satyendar Jain too apologised for Mr Dadlani’s tweet.

I apologise for hurting feelings of Jain community by my friend @VishalDadlani. I seek kshama from Muni Shri Tarun Sagar ji Maharaj.
