He also praised him for 'establishing a strong Muslim rule' in Ghazni and for smashing the idol at Somnath temple. He also called him the renowned Muslim warrior. 
 
Haqqani tweeted on Tuesday, "Today, we visited the shrine of Sultan Mahmud Ghaznavi, a renowned Muslim warrior & Mujahid of the 10th century. Ghaznavi (May the mercy of Allah be upon him) established a strong Muslim rule in the region from Ghazni & smashed the idol of Somnath."
 
 
Mahmud of Ghazni was the 10th-century Muslim invader of Turkic dynasty of Ghaznavids who looted and plundered the temple in Gujarat. He also broke the Jyotirlinga and also believed to have killed thousands of devotees who were trying to protect the temple. Attracted by India’s wealth, he is believed to have attacked and looted India 17 times. Other than the Somnath temple, he is believed to have destroyed temples at Kangra, Mathura, and Jwalamukhi. Because of this, he had earned himself the nickname ‘idol breaker’.

 
Mahmud Ghaznavi insisted that it was primarily a Hindu religious object and his first duty was to destroy it. It is believed that he not only broke the Somnath idol, he even took its pieces to be trod over the footsteps of Jama Masjid in Ghazna, Afghanistan.
Responding to the Taliban leader's insensitive comment, BJP leader Kapil Mishra tweeted, "Somnath is still standing high again But cities of Ghazanavi, Ghori, Ghazni, Taimoor are perishing in poverty and hunger".
