This is what Actors and Politicians are saying about Salman Khan’s Yakub statement

Salman Khan is back in the news with another controversy. And this time it has created much of a buzz as he has tweeted in support of the 1993 blast convict Yakub who has been sentenced by the Supreme Court to be hanged on July 30.

So where on one hand we have Salman Khan’s father himself slamming his tweet and calling it ridiculous, there are also a few who have spoken in favor of him.

Here is what Actors and Politicians are saying :

Salim Khan, Salman Khan’s father: My son’s tweets regarding Yakub Memon are meaningless. I do not support his statements. His tweets are wrong.

Ujjwal Nikam, senior advocate: When an actor was found guilty under arms act after 1993 blasts, Bollywood started a campaign titled ‘Baba you are innocent, we’re with you’. I said this campaign is interference in judicial process, must be withdrawan. Campaign was immediately withdrawn, I expect Salman Khan to do the same, he must express regret over what he said.

Shatrughan Sinha, actor and BJP MP: Agar usne aisa kaha hai to aap uski bhaavnayon ko samajhiye.

Baba Ramdev: Hanging traitors is important but it’s also important to teach a lesson to all those who stand with the enemies of humanity and nation.

Raza Murad, actor: That’s Salman’s personal opinion, he has a right to express opinion as a citizen of democratic nation. Abha Singh, lawyer: Salman himself is a convict who has been given a punishment of 5 yrs, still he has audacity to say Yakub is innocent. Is he trying to question judicial system of country? His statement is very improper and against rule of law.

Uddhav Thackeray, Shiv Sena chief: Is he trying to question the judicial system of the nation? One shouldn’t pay attention to such things, it should be ignored.
