After Sonu Nigam, Suchitra Krishnamoorthi Slams Azaan On Loudspeakers, Calls it ‘Uncivilised’; Twitterati Bashed Her Badly!

Published by in General —

A couple of months ago, we know how Sonu Nigan’s Azaan controversy had created a ripple on social media for making some eccentric statements on the ‘Azaan-Muslim call for prayer’. He boldly took on to his Twitter handle and went tweeting how he’s offended by the religious contexts.

He questioned the necessity of broadcasting the announcement on loudspeakers from mosques in public. Labeling it ‘forced religiousness’, and using the word “Gundagardi”, Sonu’s tweet created quite a stir!

However, Sonu Nigam later apologized for the same but clarified that his intention behind the tweets was to raise a social issue, and not a religious one.

But things took a ridiculous turn when a Maulvi issued fatwa against him and promised to pay Rs 10 lakhs to the one who shaves off Sonu’s head; accepting this challenge, the singer himself arranged for an Aalim and got bald in front of the media.

While some are of the opinion that Sonu is right in voicing his opinion against loudspeakers, while some think that he shouldn’t have spoken against the Muslim community. However, it ended by creating a lot of stir in the whole nation.

But now again, it is Suchitra Krishnamoorthi, actress and singer, who has taken a stand against ‘Azaan on loudspeakers’.

Actress-Singer Suchitra Krishnamoorthi has now joined the bandwagon, deeming Azaan on loudspeakers as ‘imposed religiosity.’ She tweeted,

That was not it. She took on trolls who tried to teach her about her religion. 

FYI it is not Sagarika Ghose, you see. It’s a parody account. Though it was fake account’s reply, Krishnamoorthi didn’t to explain her tweet.

This is what she said thereafter.

Another Twitter user countered her by saying that he lives in “an otherwise quite locality” and was OK with the temple nearby playing songs on loud speaker.

To this, she also went on to explain what exactly bothers her. 

Even the Samajwadi Party Leaders bashed her for the meaningless protest on Azaan, they literally mocked the former singer saying her sleep is more important than the call to prayers.

On Monday, SP leader Juhi Singh told ANI,

“Such irresponsible comments have been made in the past also. I am unable to understand what kind of people they are. I would like to know how does azaan, which otherwise purifies you on hearing, bother her. May be her sleep is more important.”

Here are other Twitter reactions her tweet garnered:

Wondering when this Azaan controversy will end? Only time will tell. Until then, let’s hope that it ends with a solution and not another Fatwa.
