Raj Thackeray calls Salman Khan a man without brains

Bollywood superstar Salman Khan was recently mired in controversy, when he tweeted in support of Yakub Memon. Yakub Memon was convicted in the Mumbai bomb blast case. Politician Raj Thackeray known for his bluntness slammed the ‘Bajrangi Bhaijaan’ actor for his Yakub Memon comments.

Salman Khan and Raj Thackeray share a good equation with each other, but Salman Khan’s comment did not go down well with Thackeray. He called the Dabangg Khan a man without brains.

Raj Thackeray said , “Salman is a man without brains, while his father is a respectable man. He does not read newspapers and does not know the law and thus went on tweeting in his (Yakub’s) favour. Then there are people who sent letters to the President seeking mercy for the traitor. How can anybody question a Supreme Court order?”

Raj Thackeray further added, “Yakub Memon was a terrorist but his hanging episode was converted into a drama by both the Centre and the state government. Looking into the events preceding and following the hanging of this traitor who killed so many people, I feel that both governments only wanted riots to break out in the country.”
