This response from the chief Imam came after Karnataka Health Minister Sudhakar K earlier on Thursday said that the Azaan loudspeaker issue has been settled by the law.

"This (Azaan loudspeaker issue) has been settled by the law, and SC has already given the direction. Noise pollution is also one of the facets of loudspeakers being used for Azaan," Karnataka Health Minister Dr Sudhakar K said, as quoted by news agency ANI.
