Azaan controversy: Krishnamoorthi files complaint against abusive tweet, 4 booked

New Delhi, Jul 27 (UNI) Actress-singer Suchitra Krishnamoorthi today filed a police complaint against twitter user, who called her names on social platform in response to her remark against the "aggressive/ear shattering call" for 'azaan'. The singer has filed a complaint against people in suburban Oshiwara Police Station in mumbai, after which police booked four twitter users. The singer has recently criticised the "aggressive/ear shattering call" for 'azaan', saying she does not need public loudspeakers to remind her of God. She called it a case of "imposed religiosity", describing the use of loudspeakers as "lowlife" and "dumb". But after her tweet the 41-year-old singer met with both praise and scorn, while some commended her for talking about the issue, others called her an attention-seeker. Few people even made abusive and sexually-coloured remarks against her, following which she filed a complaint. Krishnamoorthi on July 23, had tweeted "Came home at 4.45 am 2 most aggressive/ear shattering call of azaan." When a Twitter user posted that it was good to wake up at 'Brahma muhurta' (early morning) according to Hinduism, the actress replied, "I wake up at Brahmamuhurta of my own accord & do my prayers & riyaz & yoga. I don't need public loudspeakers to remind me of my God or my duty." Earlier, singer Sonu Nigam also landed in controversy for speaking against azaan loudspeaker noise. UNI SHS SNU 1513
