In his statement, Ali clarified that his intention was only to bring everyone closer and “not to create trouble”. “Dear all, I am aware of the controversy my previous post may have caused. It was not my intention to cause distress or anger to anyone and I am deeply sorry,” the singer wrote on Facebook. It was meant to bring everyone together… but I realized it didn’t turn out the way I wanted. I will be more conscious of what I am posting and my words, as I see now that it has upset many of my Hindu brothers and sisters. I am deeply sorry for that. I love you all…”
In his now-deleted post, Ali had shared, “The name ‘Brahmin’ comes from ‘Brahma’ which comes from ‘Abram’ .. which comes from Abraham or Ibrahim…Brahmins are the descendants of Ibrahim.
