Mumbai, July 26: Bollywood superstar Salman Khan has landed himself in a thick soup when he posted a series of tweets early Sunday, supporting 1993 Mumbai serial blasts convict Yakub Memon, who is scheduled to be hanged on July 30. Now, BJP has demanded that Salman’s bail be revoked for his irresponsible tweets.
Mumbai BJP president Ashish Shelar today met the governor of Maharashtra Vidyasagar Rao and submitted a letter requesting him to cancel the bail granted to Salman Khan in the drunk driving case, which lead to the death of one person. The Bombay High Court had granted bail to the actor this year. Also Read: #SalmanWithTerrorist: Hindu Sena protests against Salman Khan’s tweets about Yakub Memon in Delhi
”I submitted a letter to the Governor requesting cancellation of bail of convicted Salman Khan for supporting a convict,” Shelar told PTI. The BJP MLA also went on a rant about the issue on microblogging site Twitter about the issue. One of his tweets read ”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.” The MLA also called Salman ‘a fool’ in one of his tweets!

Very disappointing to see Salman Khan ask for release of Yakub Menon. His bail shud be cancelled on the basis of this support for crime. — ashish shelar (@ShelarAshish) July 26, 2015
#YakubMenon worked on a mission of mass murder. This sympathy can only come from fellow convict who fails to appreciate mercy shown to him. — ashish shelar (@ShelarAshish) July 26, 2015

Stupidity as a habit is bad. But film industry has to introspect how they have made such a fool their icon. Unintentional claim indigestible

The actor has faced strong criticism over the tweets where he argued that it would be unfair to hang Yakub Memon when his brother and the prime convict in the case, Tiger Memon is still at large. Salman went as far as to say in one tweet that hanging Yakub would be anti-human!
