“As far as I think, no matter if it’s a Masjid, Mandir, Church or Gurudwara, whatever is the place, do your prayers, but it shouldn’t disturb anyone else,” Akhtar said.
Recently, exiled Bangladeshi author Taslima Nasreen and comedian Sunil Grover have come up in support of the singer. Sonu Nigam had faced flak on Twitter after he tweeted about being woken up by the sound of azaan coming from a mosque near his house.
In a series of tweets, the singer expressed his discontent with the way he has to wake up every day by the sound of azaan coming from a mosque near his house. He went to the extent of calling it ‘gundagardi’ and said that he doesn’t believe in any temple or gurudwara using electricity to wake up people who don’t follow the religion.
