Singer Lucky Ali apologises for controversial Facebook post

The post read: “The name ‘Brahman’ comes from ‘Brahma’ which comes from ‘Abram’ .. which comes from Abraham or Ibrahim.. The Brahmans are a lineage of Ibrahim. Alaihisalam… The Father of all Nations… so whys everyone just arguing and fighting without reasoning amongst themselves?”

After facing outrage, Ali took to Facebook on Tuesday and in a post said he was sorry for his earlier post and his “intentions were not to cause distress or anger amongst anyone”. Instead, his intentions, the singer said, were to bring people together but he realised that it did not come out the way he meant it to.

The post on Tuesday read: “… I will be more aware of what I am posting and of my phrasing as I see now that it has upset many of my Hindu brothers and sisters. For that I am deeply sorry. I Love you all…”
