Salman-Salim-Khan-0010Lately, Salman Khan’s father Salim Khan who plays an important role as an advisor in Salman’s life had recently asked the actor to retract his controversial tweets defending 1993 serial bomb blast convict Yakub Memon who was given death penalty.

Soon after his father’s advise, Salman Khan deleted all the tweets where the actor had called Yakub Memon an ‘innocent’ and that his brother Tiger Memon should have been hanged. Well, in a recent interview Salim Khan who believes to keep his words straightforward said that his son has been targeted, as he is a celebrity and not because of his religion.

Salim Khan, a noted film scriptwriter, on Saturday clarified that Salman’s tweets were meaningless, however he is being targeted for celebrity status. He also said that his son should have not tweeted about something he has very little knowledge, it was his foolishness.

According to him, Salim Khan noted saying that many people had opposed the court’s verdict for the death sentence to Yakub Memon, but he thinks Salman‘s way of putting things was a bit childish and because of it Salman‘s celebrity status is being taken advantage of.

Many political parties who thought that his tweets pointed the judicial and government laws, protested outside Salman Khan’s Bandra residence. Political parties including BJP, Shiv Sena and others were seen on the roads with some billboards and posters of Salman Khan’s films. The protest ended after the actor deleted all the tweets.
