Actor Salman Khan today in a series of tweets said that Yakub Memon, the man on death row for the 1993 serial blasts in Mumbai, should not be hanged. Yakub's brother, Tiger Memon, the main accused in the case and who is absconding, should be sent to the gallows.
- I will raise #SalmanKhan Twit issue tomorrow in #Loksabha #Parliament-Salman Khan ne Desh ki Mafi magni chahiye
Kirit Somaiya, BJP Lawmaker
- We should not give importance to these things. Many people will say this now. Is he questioning the courts verdict ?
Uddhav Thackeray, Shiv Sena Chief
- It is important to teach lesson to anti-nationals. People who support anti-national activities in the name of humanitarian ground and should also be punished.
Yoga Guru Ramdev
- We are opposed to capital punishment. I think the accused needs to be punished but death sentence can be reduced.
D Raja, CPI Leader
- I completely disagree with the opinion of my son and he should not say anything about these kinds of serious topics without any knowledge. He should not have made such a comment. Salman is ignorant of the issue and people should not take him seriously.
Salim Khan, Salman Khan's father and screenwriter
- I know Salman Khan for a long time. He is a good man. He has not said anything wrong about Yakub Memon, who has already filed a mercy petition. I think there is no harm in supporting anybody's mercy petition.
Shatrughan Sinha, Actor and BJP MP
