Sonu Nigam goes on a Monday morning Twitter rant, calls the Azaan 'forced religiousness'

Sonu Nigam's Monday morning blues began early, to be precise at 5 a.m., and he made sure that the world knew what exactly was bothering him. The singer posed to his 5.92 million followers and others, wondering when would "forced religiousness" end in the country. His tweet came in the wake of him being woken up by the morning 'Azaaan' from the neighbourhood mosque.

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

His main concern seemed to stem from the fact that while as is not a Muslim, he shouldn't have to be woken up by the Azaan.

But that was not all. The 43-year-old singer also sought historical clarification, invoking the Prophet and Thomas Edison as well.

And by the way Mohammed did not have electricity when he made Islam.. Why do I have to have this cacophony after Edison?

He also went on to tweet that he didn't "believe any temple or gurudwara using electricity to wake up people who don't follow the religion. Why then?" Honest? True?

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?

And in his parting shot, he wrote Gundagardi hai bus...

Twitteratti had a field day responding to Nigam, though there were some who supported the singer.

So Sonu Nigam spoke against temples and gurudwara too, but libchoos are so desperate they are attacking him on Azaan tweet only.

Azaan should be stopped in India, where millions of Muslims live, because desh ka laadla Sonu Nigam can't sleep. Where is the tolerance? FO.

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
