दो दिन पहले दिल्ली के चांदनी चौक में शांतिप्रिय समुदाय के सैकड़ों लोगों ने मिलकर प्राचीन मन्दिर मे तोड़-फोड़ की। अगर ये हमला किसी दरगाह पे होता तो टुकड़ा-टुकड़ा गैंग और अवार्ड वापसी गैंग अपने बिलों से तुरंत बाहर आ जाते। pic.twitter.com/ik6beJ5LF8

Yogeshwar Dutt said that if it was an attack on some dargah than the Tukde Tukde Gang and Award Wapasi would have come out from their hideouts, pointing out the hypocrisy of left-liberals who amplify routine crime against Muslims as communal violence by Hindus but brush aside real communal attack on Hindus.
Dutt, a freestyle wrestler, has won Olympic bronze medal during 2012 London Olympics. He was awarded Padma Shri, the fourth highest civilian award, by the Government of India in 2013.
दो दिनों से किसी ने कुछ नहीं कहा, देखो एक डरा हुआ मुसलमान क्या कर रहा है। हमारा देश एक हिन्दू राष्ट्र है और हमारे धर्म पर चोट हम बर्दाश्त नही करेंगे। मेरी प्रशासन से अपील है की गुनहगारों को सख्त सज़ा दी जाये। @narendramodi @AmitShah @DelhiPolice #ChandniChowk #TempleTerrorAttack

Earlier today, he tweeted, “For two days no one has said anything, look what a frightened Muslim is doing. Our country is a Hindu nation and we will not tolerate the attack on our religion. I appeal to the administration to hand over strict punishment to the guilty.”
An unruly mob of 300-400 people vandalized the Durga Mata Mandir in Lal Kuan in Chandni Chowk area on the night of June 30, 2019. Locals of the area posted videos of the temple on social media, which was attacked by people belonging to the Muslim community around midnight. During the same night, the mob also targetted houses belonging to Hindus of the neighbourhood.
Dr Harshvardhan, Union Minister and Chandni Chowk MP visited the site where Durga temple was desecrated and took stock of the situation. He also directed the Delhi police to take stern actions against the miscreants involved in the desecration of the temple.

While the social media is abuzz with information about the case, Congress leader and Delhi municipal councillor Yasmin Kidwai chose to conveniently ignore it and brush it under the carpet by suggesting “there was no attack on the temple.”
