Get Tiger and hang him, not his brother Yakub: Salman Khan

NEW DELHI: Bollywood superstar Salman Khan took to micro-blogging site Twitter to oppose the death penalty of 1993 Mumbai serial blasts convict Yakub Memon.
In a series of tweets, Salman Khan lashed out at Yakub's absconding brother, Tiger Memon, one of the prime suspects in the 1993 blasts case.
Actor Salman said that it was unfair for Yakub to be hanged while his brother was one of the major suspects.Taking a jibe at Tiger, he said "Bhai ho toh aisa".
The star also asked Pakistani Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif to send Tiger to India if he was in his country.
"Sharif Saab ek darkhaust hai k agar yeh aap k mulkh mein hai toh plz iktila kar deejiyeh. Kidhar chupa hai tiger?..
Here are the tweets that Salman Khan posted:
53-year-old Yakub will hang on the same day as his birthday, July 30.
Memon, whose curative petition against the death sentence awarded by special TADA court was dismissed by the Supreme Court earlier this week, is lodged in Nagpur Central Jail.
As many as 257 people were killed and over 700 injured in the serial blasts in Mumbai on March 12, 1993. Memon was the only convict in the case whose death penalty was upheld by the apex court.
After his curative petition was dismissed, Memon has submitted a mercy petition to Maharashtra Governor. The President had earlier rejected his mercy petition.
