Morning Azaan upsets Sonu Nigam, his views upset Twitterati

The 43-year-old singer posted a series of tweets after being woken up by an early morning Azaan

Sonu Nigam, who was recently in news for his latest song, Cricket Wali Beat, with cricket legend Sachin Tendulkar, seems to be in troubled waters.

The 43-year-old singer, who had an unusual early morning today, took on Twitter to express his emotions on how religion is forced on people in India.

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?

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?

Turns out that the outrage that was seen in a series of tweets by the Bollywood singer was only because of the morning Azaan near his house. Though he started tweeting at 5 am, in no time the twitterati began to troll him for his views on religious practices in India.
