Other than these, the singer went on clarifying himself, the whole day, from debates and mud-slinging on Twitter.
For the unversed, Sonu, who was woken up to the sound of Azaan early in the morning, took social media by storm after terming the practice as “forced religiousness,” on April 17.
His controversial tweets evoked a mixed response on the Internet and among every genre of people in the nation.
“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”
