<\/div>\n<\/div>\n“The name \u2018Brahman’ comes from \u2018Brahma’ which comes from \u2018Abram’ .. 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?\u201d the post read.<\/p>\n
In his apology, shared on Tuesday, the 64-year-old singer clarified that his intentions were not to \u201ccause distress or anger\u201d and was instead meant to \u201cbring us all closer together\u201d.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\u201cDear Everyone, I realise the controversy of my last post. My intentions were not to cause distress or anger amongst anyone and I deeply regret that. My intentions, instead, were to bring us all closer together\u2026 but I realise how it didn’t come out in the way that I meant it. 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,\u201d he wrote.
