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, on Sunday, 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 'noise' of azaan near his house.
Last week, the Bollywood playback singer got his head tonsured by a celebrity hairstylist at a press conference in Mumbai where he said that his tweets were against the use of loudspeakers in morning sermons and not aimed at any particular religion.
"The one who is cutting my hair is a Muslim and I'm a Hindu. There is no animosity. The same language of 'fatwa' can be communicated in a language of love," Nigam said.
"I don't think my religion is the best and yours isn't. I don't believe in that. You have to fight fanaticism. You can't be quiet," he added.
Meanwhile, awritten complaint was filed against singer Sonu Nigam in Marathwada's Aurangabad over his tweet criticising of the use of loudspeakers for broadcasting sermons and calls to prayers, police said.
