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

And by the way Mohammed did not have electricity when he made Islam.. Why do I have to have this cacophony after Edison?
— Sonu Nigam (@sonunigam) April 17, 2017
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?

Gundagardi hai bus...

The singer's comments ruffled many feathers on Twitter.
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. https://t.co/BVu1Nb6mKR

Sonu Nigam spelled backwards is Unos Magin which makes no sense just like this tweet and his sense of reasoning... https://t.co/9200mw01cv

Sleeplessness makes man do crazy things. Just saying. #SonuNigam.

Sonu Nigam is getting lot of attention today! Now he won't be able to sleep at night. #Azaan

Some, though, were in agreement with the singer's views.
I am willing to sponsor a campaign against illegal blaring of Azaan and other prayers on loudspeakers. Suggest a creative hashtag.
— Vivek Agnihotri (@vivekagnihotri) April 17, 2017
Exactly @sonunigam No azaan loudspeakers and No loud Pandals. Religion is a man's relationship with God, best to treat it in peace.
— Anjie (@_Baatcutter) April 17, 2017
@sonunigam Totally agree with you. Even in my country I'm forced to wake up at 5am everyday.. It's not about religion, it's about nuisance being...
— Sulani (@DreamyGirl12) April 17, 2017
@sonunigam created in the name of religion! Hope this will be discussed with some solution rather than just fighting here.
— Sulani (@DreamyGirl12) April 17, 2017
