Editorial Perspective

A Hindu having psychiatric issues vandalises a Temple; and a Muslim said to be having psychiatric issues does not vandalise a mosque but goes to a Temple and vandalises it. From this one can infer who truly has psychiatric issues and who is claiming a cover of psychiatric illness ?
