Salman’s controversial Tweets on Yakub Memon
In July 2015, after the Supreme Court rejected Yakub Memon’s plea for mercy, Salman Khan took to Twitter to express his opinion. He tweeted, “Hang Tiger. Brother is being hanged for Tiger. Aarrre Whr is Tiger??” This tweet immediately sparked outrage and debate among the public.
Salman’s tweet seemed to suggest that Yakub Memon was being punished for the crimes committed by his brother, Tiger Memon, who was still at large. Many people criticized Salman for his tweet, arguing that it undermined the severity of Yakub Memon’s crimes and the pain of the victims’ families.
Salman’s tweet was seen by some as an attempt to downplay the seriousness of the Mumbai bombings and shift the focus away from Yakub Memon’s involvement. The controversy surrounding his tweet intensified when it was revealed that Salman had deleted it soon after posting.
