Anger and Support for Salman’s Tweets on Yakub’s ‘Innocence’

Salman Khan’s tweets calling Yakub Memon “innocent” and Tiger Memon a “fox” have met with both anger and ridicule.

In a rare move, Actor Salman Khan took to Twitter late Saturday night/early Sunday morning to oppose the death penalty of 1993 Mumbai serial blasts convict Yakub Memon.

In a series of tweets, Salman slammed Tiger Memon, calling him a “billi” (cat) and a “lomdi” (fox). He also used the term “innocent” while referring to Yakub Memon.

Salman’s father Salim Khan called him “ignorant”.

Whatever Salman has written is ridiculous and meaningless. Salman is ignorant of the issue and people should not take him seriously.
