"@sonunigam I am a fan of urs but this was definitely a bullshit statement. U gotta respect other religions beliefs. It's a democratic country," wrote one. Another user wrote, "Dear @sonunigam ji, It's just the noise of prayers which is waking you up, there are many countries where bullets & bombs will do the same."
