Singing Sensation Sonu Nigam Quits Twitter?:- In a shocking act to the fans, Bollywood singer Sonu Nigam has quit the micro blogging site, twitter.
The singer announced in 24 tweets posted this morning that he is quitting twitter. He further cited a lack of respect for freedom and speech. Sonu (43) argued that everybody is entitled to their opinion. This move of the singer comes a day after his colleague Abhijeet Bhattacharya’s account was suspended for his abusive tweets against female twitter users like JNU student-activist Shehla Rashid. Rashid made allegations of sex trafficking by some BJP leaders.
The singer also mentioned about actor and BJP Parliamentarian, Paresh Rawal who has been scraped online after tweeting that author Arundhati Roy should be “tied to army jeep.”
Mr Nigam said in his tweets that he is deleting his account because Twitter is “one-sided” and “everyone is angry.”
He asked the media and his followers to take screen shots of his tweets as the messages will soon disappear when he leaves the website. Mr Nigam had nearly 6.5 million followers on the micro-blogging site.
Read Sonu Nigam’s Tweets:
In April this year, Sonu sparked another controversy where he tweeted how the sounding of morning azaan on loudspeakers at a mosque near his residence would not let him get proper sleep. The statements made by the singer enraged many and a Muslim cleric even offered Rs 10 lakh to anyone who would shave the singer’s head. Sonu called a press conference to his home where he got himself clean shaved his head. The cleric still did not pay him the reward.
Meanwhile, Abhijeet in another tweet, had insulted a woman Twitter user when she called him out for his incendiary tweets, where he wrote, “You Ms Pak. Tell me your cage no? Will reach there... Will do the favourite pose.”
Ms Rashid then thanked people for their support and wrote:
Sincere thanks to everyone for the support. Abhijit had to delete his tweet.

His Twitter account has also been suspended. :)
Mr Nigam’s accounts on Facebook and Instagram are still active. Of the controversy, Abhijeet Bhattacharya told a leading news channel, “Yes, I just saw it. They are trying to block Paresh Rawal also. All Arundhati and JNU group behind this, after Paresh Rawal and I tweeted against Arundhati for her anti-India stand. I (don’t) care a damn, the entire nation is with me.”
