I would like to unconditionally apologise: Salman Khan after tweeting in support of Yakub Memon

Mumbai: Bollywood superstar Salman Khan invited public ire after he tweeted in favour of Yakub Memon, a Mumbai 1993 serial blasts convict. Following a phone call from his father Salman Khan, Salman, however, tendered unconditional apology through his tweets, thereby trying to undo the damage that was done. The actor, who has been in this industry for over 2 decades now, has often made headlines for being on the wrong side of the fence.

The public at large was left disillusioned with Salman’s views for a terror convict. The actor posted a series of tweets eventually to clarify his stance. He tweeed:

I had tweeted that Tiger Memon should hang for his crimes and I stand by it. What i also said is that Yakub Memon should not hang for him.

I have not said or implied that Yakub Memon is innocent. I have complete faith in the judicial system of our country.
