Azaan is a call to prayer given by the muezzin of a mosque, five times a day. The first call is given early in the morning. According to Islam, Azaan is the first thing that a newborn child should hear.

Sonu also stated that Temples and Gurudwaras shouldn't as well wake up people up by using loudspeakers early in the morning.?

Furthermore, he labelled the practice as "gundagardi."

Twitterati didn't spare him for his remarks as he received backlash on Twitter.
