On Monday, Jain Religious leader Tarun Sagar said that he doesn’t think Vishal Dadlani knows anything about Jainism or its beliefs and added that the question of apology doesn’t arise as he is not angry with the music composer in the first place.

A police complaint was filed against the composer-singer on Sunday for his controversial tweet that mocked Jain leader Tarun Sagar who delivered a lecture in the Haryana Assembly on Friday.
