In this apology video, Waris Pathan, who had earlier refused to sing Vande Mataram, said:
” A few days back I had said certain things for which I apologize to Allah. Yes I had made a mistake. I am also a human and I made a mistake. I assure you that this mistake will not be repeated. It is my appeal to every single one of you to forgive me and pray for me. May Allah help my faith become stronger and grant me the strength to walk on the right path.”
