#AzaanRow: Sonu Nigam posts 'proof'

NEW DELHI: After stirring up a controversy by posting about 'forced religiousness' and speaking against the use of loudspeakers atop mosques, temples and gurudwaras for religious purposes, Sonu Nigam took to the social media to share a video of azaan. In the clip, which was presumably recorded at dawn, the loud call to prayer can be heard all around. The post was captioned 'Goodmorning India.' Looks like, the 43-year-old has responded to the reports that claimed there was no sound of azaan near his house. On April 17, Sonu nigam woke up to tweet something that stirred a controversy across the country. Miffed with loudspeakers used for 'Azaan', singer tweeted, "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". Post this, Twitteratis had a field day, while some were supporting his views, rest slammed it brutally.
 In a series of tweets, he attempted to justify his stance but that was not of much help. Nigam also shaved his head after a West Bengal Maulavi issued fatwa against him.
