Sonu Nigam, naam tou suna hoga. He has one of the best awaaz- es in all of Bollywood, and everyone loves him.
Now, last night Sonu Nigam was in deep slumber when something woke him up, and he wasn’t happy.
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

Oh yeah, he just went THERE! And with 180 million Muslims in India, he angered A LOT of people.
And you’d think he’s stop there, but no, he went on.
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
Basically Sonu loves his sleep way too much.
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?

But like, really?
Gundagardi hai bus…

You must have figured out by now, people had loads to say on Twitter.
Clearly this man isn’t a fan.
@ashu3page This is total nonsense…Azaan is for 1,2 minutes…Sonu nigam program is 2 hours…How many ppl getting disturb?

This guy wants to convert Sonu Bhai. Yeah, good luck with that.
Dear "Sonu Nigam" your songs also irritating us that too meaningless . first
Listen Azaan carefully it will give you right path Inshallah— Ma mubasheer khan (@Mamubasheerkhan) April 17, 2017
The hate just kept coming.
@sonunigam Azaan wakes up sonu nigam daily but it failed to wake up his mind and soul. Sad! I would have been blessed if i had been in his place.

The ‘shame’ word was thrown around.
@sonunigam I respect u for ur singing.But, looks like you r seeking publicity like Abhijeet now by making controversial statements. Shame.

Clearly this isn’t the only form of religion being ‘enforced’ in India
@sonunigam Why dont you go vocal during Ganesh Chaturthi!! I dont think that festival happens silently!!
— Saswata Chatterjee (@sassy_twittes) April 17, 2017
Lekin the ugly truth did come up.
Hehe oops!
Azaan ki awaaz sunkar musalman nahi uthte aajkal namaz ke liye, lekin Sonu Nigam ki neend toot gayi.
— Danish Khan (@DanishKh4n) April 17, 2017
And the Twitter war just kept going.
Holi is waste of water,Diwali causes air and sound pollution.But how dare Sonu Nigam raise his voice aginst Azaan.Its melodious:SicularLogic

We’ve all heard about maa ka laadla but then there’s desh ka laadla!
@IndiaToday @sonunigam Azaan should be stopped in India, where millions of Muslims live, because desh ka laadla Sonu Nigam can't sleep. Where is the tolerance?

Phones were burned.

The naara of Freedom Of Speech was called out.
@NagvekarTirath @rose_k01 @sonunigam and brother , i hope you a bit aware of Muslims , in India ,Why don't they have freedom of speech ?
— Dr Shahid Nabi (@ershahid1998) April 17, 2017
Yikes! Wow stuff is getting intense.
Sonu nigam k ghatiya songs se hum pareshan nhi hue or wo hamari azaan se pareshan ho gye

What’s this ‘beef’ all about?
Hehehe, see what I did there?
"Sonu Nigam" Who cares about religious sentiments? Just ban azaan, bhajans, hymns. Zero tolerance. No bias.
But sir, Beef?— M'Toufeeq (@nukeman239) April 17, 2017
He was called ‘unemployed’. Haw Hayee
@sanity_speaker @shahyawar03 Problem with us:
Unemployed celebrity tweets something, we start our discussion, more like fight.
Believe me, Nothing's gonna happen.— Prakash Joshi (@manveerbb10) April 17, 2017
Some people also agreed with Sonu
@IndiaToday @sonunigam Sonu Nigam not only tweet about #Muslim & Azaan, he also tweet about Temple and Gudwara's loudspeaker. Why you only picked this tweet?
— Pranav Sharma (@HereIsPranav) April 17, 2017
Oh well. Lool!
Sonu nigam is right bcoz India is not a Islamic country where u call Azaan early morning and disturb the peace of kafirs

So that’s that. Have a good day and pray your namaz kids.
