Music composer Vishal Dadlani on Wednesday met Jain monk Tarun Sagar and apologised to him in person for his sarcastic tweets on the spiritual figure that had kicked up a storm. The monk asked him to seek forgiveness from the Jain community for hurting their sentiments.
After the composer apologised as per the Jain community’s tradition of seeking “Panch Mafee”, that included holding of ears, Sagar said though he had already forgiven Dadlani, now he would appeal to the community to forgive him and withdraw protest against him and treat the matter as closed.
Sagar said, “Anyone can make a mistake, even me, it is not a big thing, but realisation of the same is important and one should forgive such a person.”
Afterwards, Sagar appealed to the Jain community to forgive Dadlani. Sagar also appealed to those who had registered FIR against the composer to end the matter against him.
