Jani Monk Tarun Sagar Maharaj was mocked by Vishal Dadlani, Indian singer, composer and AAP supporter. But his tweet hurt AAP supremo Arvind Kejriwal who openly sided with the Jain Monk Tarun Sagar Maharaj who is also famous for his discourse ‘Kadve Vachan’ or ‘bitter words.’
Though a Jain Monk, yet Tarun Sagar Maharaj is widely revered in many sections of the society for being an upright holy man. Here is a screenshot of what Vishal Dadlani tweeted about the Jain Monk Tarun Sagar Maharaj.
People actually trying to defend the colossal idiocy of some naked monk, addressing Haryana assembly, telling women how to live! UNREAL! (2)

The tweet created a ruckus with the followers of Jain Monk asking Vishal for the disrespectful tweet. Arvind Kejriwal got the whiff of it and he apologized and so did Satyendar Jain.
Tarun Sagar ji Maharaj is a very reverred saint, not just for jains but everyone. Those showing disrespect is unfortunate and shud stop

I apologise for hurting feelings of Jain community by my friend @VishalDadlani. I seek kshama from Muni Shri Tarun Sagar ji Maharaj.
— Satyendar Jain (@SatyendarJain) August 27, 2016
Vishal Dadlani has also apologized to both Arvind Kejriwal and Satyendar Jain.
I apologise wholeheartedly. My tweet was against the overlap of religion & governance. Not any particular religion. https://t.co/YM40O7CzUA

Tarun Dadlani targeted Jain Monk Tarun Sagar Maharaj as he was nude when he was invited to address the Haryana assembly on Friday. Since Haryana has a BJP government led by RSS man Manohar Lal Khattar so to attack the state government, he took pot-shots at the revered Jain saint which angered his followers.

Perhaps Vishal Dadlani did not know that during the address the Jain Monk while lauding Narendra Modi also spoke about the “daughters” like Sakshi Malik and PV Sindhu and how they “saved India from disgrace” at the Rio Olympics.
Tarun Sagar Maharaj also spoke out against Pakistan in the speech and was quick to admonish politicians stating that they disappear after winning elections.
In short, it was a very progressive speech that had all the right ingredients of motivation not only for Haryana but for all of India.
Arvind Kejriwal speaking against his tweet made things calm but it shows that politicians or their supporters need a lesson in how to not get carried away on social media.
Arvind Kejriwal tried to douse fire that could harm AAP while Jain Monk also targeted by Tehseen Poonawalla:

Why is this 'naked' man 'holy' even if he walks 'nude' in the state assembly while a woman would be termed a slut pic.twitter.com/htqGQqLiAT
— Tehseen Poonawalla (@tehseenp) August 27, 2016
But Good for Arvind Kejriwal that Vishal Dadlani is no more associated with AAP
Trouble’s ahead, online FIRs filed against Vishal Dadlani and Tehseen Poonawalla:
