Salim said: "Whatever Salman has written is ridiculous
and meaningless. Salman is ignorant of the issue and
people should not take him seriously."
Veteran Bollywood scriptwriter lashed out at his son
Salman Khan for supporting 1993 Mumbai serial blasts
accused Yakub Memon and said his tweets about the
issue shouldn't be taken seriously.
Salim was quoted by ibnlive.com saying: "Whatever
Salman has written is ridiculous and meaningless.
Salman is ignorant of the issue and people should not
take him seriously."
Salim also spoke out against capital punishment for
Yakub Memon, saying: "Yakub should be kept in jail
rather be hanged. Keeping him alive is a bigger
punishment."
Salman Khan has set the cat among the pigeons with a
series of tweets defending Yakub and asking his brother
Tiger to be hanged instead. He had tweeted: "Hang
Tiger. Brother is being hanged for Tiger. Arre where is
Tiger? Get Tiger hang him. Parade him not his brother."
Get tiger hang him. Parade him not his brother

The Bajrangi Bhaijaan actor, who is currently out on bail
took on the Yakub Memon issue with his tweets. The
Supreme Court had earlier dismissed Yakub's curative
petition against the death sentence and he will be
hanged on July 30. The actor even called Yakub an
innocent men, asked authorities to find Tiger and even
asked Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif to send Tiger if he
was in Pakistan.

mein hai toh plz iktila kar deejiyeh.

Others also reacted to Salman Khan's tweet while
speaking to ANI. Shatrughan Sinha said: "Agar usne
aisa kaha hai to aap uski bhaavnayon ko samajhiye." (If
he has said this, you should understand his emotions).
Actor Raza Murad, said: "That's Salman's personal
opinion and he has a right to express opinion as a
citizen of democratic nation." Senior lawyer KTS Tulsi
also said that Yakub's hanging should be reconsidered
since he had rendered valuable help in collecting
evidence against Pakistan.
Meanwhile, lawyer Abha Singh questioned Salman's
statement: "Salman himself is a convict who has been
given a punishment of 5 years, still he has the audacity
to say Yakub is innocent. Is he trying to question
judicial system of country? His statement is very
improper & against rule of law."
Even Uddhav Thackeray wondered whether Salman was
questioning the judicial system of the nation. Here are
Salman Khan's tweets that started the entire debate.
N no 1 ever Address him as tiger ever . Does not deserve
that at all. Hang that... fill in th blanks
