Morning Azaan disturbed his sleep and Sonu Nigam went on a rant
Not everyone is having a great start to the week this Monday it seems. Sonu Nigam sure is one person who is not happy with being woken up early by loudspeakersblaring the Azaan from a mosque and his tweet has created the proverbial storm in the Indian Twitter cup. At 5:25 am today morning, Sonu tweeted Sonu Nigam ✔@sonunigam God bless everyone. I'm not a Muslim and I have to be woken up by the Azaan in the morning. When will this forced religiousness end in India
At last count the Tweet had been retweeted more than 2100 times and Twitter can’t stop dissing the use of loudspeakers at Mosques, Temples or for any religious function But Sonu Nigam didn't just stop there Sonu Nigam ✔@sonunigam And by the way Mohammed did not have electricity when he made Islam.. Why do I have to have this cacophony after Edison? And no, he didn’t just single out Mosques for using loudspeakers Sonu Nigam ✔@sonunigam I don't believe in any temple or gurudwara using electricity To wake up people who don't follow the religion . Why then..? Honest? True? While some took offence at his tweets, others added that loudspeakers at all religious places were a problem and ought to be shut down. Apurva Asrani ✔@Apurvasrani Don't want to hear the Azaan at dawn, nor do I want to hear a Chikni Chameli tuned Ganesh Aarti at dusk. Ban ALL loudspeakering of religion. READ MORE
