Luckey Ali’s controversial remarks about Brahamans
Notably, this is not the first time when Lucky’s social media post has attracted criticism from people. Earlier this year, the singer faced heavy backlash for his outrageous tweet in which he claimed that Brahmans are the lineage of Prophet Abraham.
He wrote, “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 why is everyone just arguing and fighting without reasoning amongst themselves?”
However, his remarks didn’t go well with a lot of people from the Hindu community who took Lucky’s statement as an attack on their religious beliefs and sentiments.
After getting mercilessly trolled for his controversial words, the 64-year-old singer finally understood the gravity of the situation and deleted his objectionable post. He even penned down an unconditional apology for his comments and shared it on his official Facebook account.
In his apology letter, Luckey wrote, ” I realize the controversy of my last post. My intentions were not to cause distress or anger to anyone and I deeply regret that. My intentions, instead, were to bring us all closer together… but I realize 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.”
