“I just wish to clarify and apologise for an instagram post yesterday. It was a WhatsApp forward that I posted in a haste and without even realising the content used and what it signified and stood for,” he said on Twitter.
That was my mistake I accept, and at no stage do I subscribe to the views in that post or support the people whose picture were carried. I am a sikh who will fight for India and not against India.
This is my unconditional apology for hurting the sentiments of my nation. In fact any anti-national group against my people, I do not support and never will.I have given my blood and sweat for this country for 20 years and will never ever support anything that is anti-India,” Singh professed.
