Sonu Nigam Remains Firm On His Stand, Tweets He's Against The Use Of Loudspeaker & Not Religion

Sonu Nigam and his tweets against Azaan and forced religiousness have blown up into a full-fledged controversy. A lot is being said and written about the singer and his tweets against Azaan. And now one day after the controversy, Sonu Nigam again took to Twitter to clarify his stand.

To jog your memory a little, in a series of tweets, he wrote:

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?

Without extending any apology, Sonu Nigam again took to Twitter to express his views. Clarifying that his statements were never against any religion but focused only on usage of loudspeakers, he wrote,

Twitter

Dear everyone. Your stand exposes your own IQ. I stand by my statement that loudspeakers should not be allowed in Mosques & Temples. Period
