Sonu Nigam tweets on 'azaan', Sonu Sood trolled over social media
It was Sonu Nigam and not Sonu Sood, who created a controversy in a series of tweets, after he complained against being woken up by the azaan or morning call to prayer played on a loud speaker.
In a series of tweets, Sonu Nigam complained about increasing decibel levels from mosques, besides temples and gurudwaras.
"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," the singer tweeted.

He said:"And by the way Mohammed did not have electricity when he made Islam.. Why do I have to have this cacophony after Edison?"

The entire episode makes one remember about the recent mistaken troll witnessed by the world of internet when people in India attacked e-commerce portal Snapdeal after the CEO of social networking app SnapChat said he wasn't interested in business from 'poor countries' like India.
