After Twitter rant, Sonu Nigam posts recording of azaan

April 23, 2017 13:35

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, singer Sonu Nigam on Sunday took to 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.'

However, the 43-year-old singer didn't say in his tweet where he recorded this particular 'azaan' from and on what day.

Last week, the singer posted several tweets talking unfavourably about, in general, religion-related material being broadcast over microphones and "forced religiousness."

There was a huge uproar with many saying he was insulting religion or Muslims or both, and many talking about his hypocrisy as he, too, has performed devotional songs, on microphones, at all-night Hindu religious events.
