Singer Rabbi Shergill addresses criticism of comments attributed to A.R. Rahman regarding a “communal” angle. In the remarks cited by both outlets, Shergill says he does not know the specific context in which Rahman made the statement, but argues that the issue cannot be ignored “right now.” He also responds to questions about whether the remark can be denied, saying that people cannot deny the “communal angle.” Both reports frame Shergill’s position as a defense that focuses on what the statement implies at present rather than claiming certainty about the original circumstances or intent. The outlets do not provide additional details about the original quote, the setting in which it was made, or whether Rahman later clarified his position. Instead, they center on Shergill’s response to public controversy over the interpretation of Rahman’s comments.
