BJP seeks cancellation of Salman Khan's bail over his Yakub tweets

MUMBAI: With Bollywood superstar Salman Khan's tweets defending Yakub Memon, the death row convict of 1993 Mumbai blasts case, drawing severe flak from different quarters, BJP here demanded cancellation of the actor's bail in the 2002 hit-and-run case.

Mumbai BJP president Ashish Shelar on Sunday met Maharashtra governor Ch Vidyasagar Rao and submitted a letter requesting cancellation of bail granted to Salman by the Bombay high court.

"I submitted a letter to the Governor requesting cancellation of bail of convicted Salman Khan for supporting a convict," said Shelar.

"Very disappointing to see Salman Khan ask for release of Yakub Memon. His (Salman's) bail should be cancelled on the basis of the support for crime," he said in a tweet.

"Yakub Memon worked on the mission of mass murder. His sympathy can only come from fellow convict who fails to appreciate mercy shown to him," Shelar added.

Meanwhile, BJP Yuva Morcha activists are expected to stage protest outside Salman's residence in suburban Bandra later on Sunday.

Salman, who was sentenced to five years in jail by the sessions court earlier this year in the hit-and-run case in which one person died, was later granted bail by the Bombay high Court.

The 49-year-old actor said that an "innocent" is being hung for the crimes of his brother and the prime suspect in the 1993 bombings - Tiger Memon.

Yes! I hope they cancel his bail! He really shd serve his jail term, whatever its decided, 3 yrs or 5 yrs! He shd serve his punishment and then return to movies like Sanjay Dutt!

Not only has he committed several crimes himself but he also supports all criminals like that suicide abettor Suraj Pancholi, that rapist Anand Jon, and now this terrorist Yakub Khan.

I saw the video and i am deeply offended

What do they mean salman ko pakistan bhejo? Yes these terrorists may be hiding in pak but not all citizens of pak support them..it doesn't mean any one who supports him should be sent to pak..it is like saying pak is the only place with terrorism and all people supporting any should come to pak..NO..it has people who want peace..it is not a hole where all terrorists or its supporters should be sent..it is a country and despite its battle with terrorism..it doesn't mean it is a shithole where people you don't want in India should he thrown in

Heights of ignorance of these people.

Yakub Abdul Razak Memon or Yakub Memon is a classic case of how some of the well educated people can become terrorists in the name of religion.

Yakub who is facing the gallows is a chartered accountant. Such an educated man becoming a terrorist was unheard of in the early 1990s.

He is a brother of Ibrahim Mushtaq alias Tiger' Memon, one of the prime accused in the deadly 1993 Bombay Bomb Blasts which killed 257 people and injured almost a thousand.

Twenty years after the most horrific terror attack, in 2013 the Supreme Court sentenced Yakub Memon to death for his role in the blasts.

He is the most educated member of the Memon family. He was arrested at Kathmandu airport while trying to flee India.

According to police his accounting firm used to handle the finances of brother Tiger's illegal operations, which included lucrative silver smuggling.

He did well for himself and had bought six flats in the Al Hussaini building where Tiger already had two duplex flats. Tiger was a henchman of D-Company mafioso and co-conspirator in the 1993 blasts, Dawood Ibrahim who is hiding in Pakistan.

Yakub was first sentenced on July 27, 2007 by judge P D Kode of the TADA court in Mumbai. He has been convicted for following crimes he committed.

Criminal Conspiracy under Section 120 B of the Indian Penal Code. Sentenced to death for arranging finance and managing disbursement of the money through a co-accused Mulchand Shah and a firm Tejarath International owned by absconding accused and his brother Ayub Memon.

Aiding, abetting and facilitating in a terrorist Act under Section 3 of TADA. Sentenced to life imprisonment. According to charge sheet he arranged for air tickets through Altafali Mushtaqali Sayyed, East West travels for the youths who were sent for arms and ammunition training to Pakistan. Also made arrangements for their lodging and boarding. Purchased motor vehicles which were used while planting bombs.

Illegal possession and transportation of arms and ammunition under Sections 5, 6 of TADA - Sentenced to 14 years of rigorous imprisonment.

Possessing explosives with intent to endanger lives under sections 3, 4 and 6 of the Explosives Substances Act- Sentenced to 10 years of rigorous imprisonment. Requested co-accused, Amjadali Meherbux and Altafali Sayyed, to store suitcases containing arms, ammunition, hand grenades and detonators.

There are many who are against Yakub being hanged to death. Former SC Judge Markendeya Katju also stated that it would be gross injustice to hang Yakub. Pritish Nandy also tweeted saying that Yakub should not be hanged for the crimes of his brother. These are famous people. Am sure there are many out there who have read a little about the case who think that Yakub should get a life sentence behind bars, but not hanged to death.

Wonder if BJP is coming up with a list of everyone who is against hanging of Yakub.
