He said "In this video the reporter says that the idol of Lord Krishna has been vandalized in the temple. Now I don't understand what some people want to say.”

In another Tweet Rahat said “some friends are telling me it was "okay" to attack because it was just a temporary place of worship, while in the first line of this video, the report at the scene is clearly saying a " Temple" which means "Hindu Temple". He does not mention about permanent or temporary.” Along with this, the question is also whether the religious place will be temporary, even then one can attack and sabotage it like this?
