On Sunday, Bollywood actor Salman Khan spoke against the death penalty of 1993 Mumbai blasts’ accused Yakub Memon. Khan took to Twitter to express his views, days after Supreme Court refused to entertain Memon’s plea against the death penalty.
Responding to his tweets, Salman’s father and Bollywood scriptwriter Salim Khan said that w hatever Salman has written is ridiculous and meaningless as he is ignorant of the issue, people should not take him seriously, IBN Live reported .
Salman posted a bunch of tweets lashing out at Yakub’s brother, Tiger Memon and demanding for him to be hanged instead of Yakub, saying what kind of a brother lets his brother die. He later deleted the tweets.
