Singer Sonu Nigam, in a series of tweets, had announced that he would quit Twitter. Siding with singer Abhijeet and actor Paresh Rawal, he claimed that the platform had no "balance" and was "one-sided" with hate all around.

As he bids adieu to his 6.5 million followers, he says that he has understood that "you can wake up someone who's sleeping, but can not wake up one who's pretending to sleep when he's awake".

The singer, who claims to have a balanced approach, feels that the media is divided and the social networking site is full of "some nationalists, some just cold blooded pseudos".
