Bollywood singer Sonu Nigam has ranked up a controversy by calling the morning azaan 'forced religiousness'.

In a series of tweets, singer Sonu Nigam on Monday called the morning azaan from the mosque 'forced religiousness' and termed it as 'Gundagardi'.

"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," Nigam tweeted.

The 43-year-old singer raised questions on the azaan when he found himself woken up early in the morning by the Azaan from a mosque near his house.

This is not the first time that the national award winner has landed himself in controversy.

In 2015, Sonu landed in trouble by comparing controversial self-styled god-woman, Sukhwinder Kaur alias Radhe Maa to Goddess Kali and the Naga sadhus.
