Bollywood singer Sonu Nigam on Monday morning gave rise to a new controversy by questioning why the azaan, the Muslim call to prayer, should be broadcast on loudspeakers from mosques.
This is “forced religiousness,” he said in a series of tweets early Morning morning.
“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,” Sonu Nigam asked in his first tweet.
Azaan is the Islamic call to prayer given five times a day by the muezzin of a mosque. The first call is given early in the morning.
The 43-year-old singer, went on to term the use of loudspeakers by mosques and temples as ‘gundagardi’.
