Following his apology to monk Tarun Sagar controversy, Vishal Dadlani said he quit the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) on his own after offending the Jain community. However the artist still sees the AAP as "family".
Singer, music director and Aam Aadmi Party supporter Vishal Dadlani stirred a controversy on Saturday after he mocked Digambar Jain monk Tarun Sagar for giving a speech in Haryana Assembly, naked.
Hours within he posted the picture, Dadlani repeatedly apologised for his tweet and appealed Twitterati to not mix religion and politics after getting backlashed by Jain community and fellow AAP members.
In a string of tweets, Dadlani insisted that the party had not shown the door to him and it's his own decision to refrain from any active politics on social media sites.
A lot is being said against AAP because I chose to quit. I just want to say, AAP is a family. Please keep faith in AK & the party! (2)? VISHAL DADLANI (@VishalDadlani) August 28, 2016
(2) I made a mistake by offending the peaceful Jain community, and I felt the only way to truly apologise, was to renounce my ego (3)? VISHAL DADLANI (@VishalDadlani) August 28, 2016
(3) Neither Arvind, nor anyone else, asked me to quit. I make my own decisions. I made a mistake, & I'm genuinely sorry. That's all. (4)? VISHAL DADLANI (@VishalDadlani) August 28, 2016
(4) Never forget how hard AK & AAP have fought for all of us. AAP volunteers, stay strong & fight twice as hard. With you all, in spirit.? VISHAL DADLANI (@VishalDadlani) August 28, 2016
I apologise again, to the Jain Community, & all others offended. But I beg you all not to support religion in governance, for India's sake.? VISHAL DADLANI (@VishalDadlani) August 28, 2016
I'm no leader, man. I'm just a guy with too many opinions. Learnt that India is safer when we all just wave & smile. https://t.co/yYlF9L4JEg? VISHAL DADLANI (@VishalDadlani) August 28, 2016
Haha! What a party that would be! AAP volunteers are the best in the world! Aa jaao! I will personally hug each one! https://t.co/sZMBUHkn4W? VISHAL DADLANI (@VishalDadlani) August 28, 2016
Well, this has been a long weekend for the composer on social platform indeed.
