Bollywood actor Salman Khan faced severe flak over his tweet; after he favoured 1993 bomb blast accused Yakub Memon in one of his recent tweets.

The actor demanded that the actual culprit Tiger Memon should be hanged and not his brother Yakub Memon.

And this led to a severe protest by the dominating political parties in town, post which Salman's father Salim Khan asked him to retract the tweet.

The actor apologized for it. However, an agitated BJP president Ashish Shelar submitted a letter pleading to cancel Salman Khan's bail granted by Bombay High Court.

He said, "I submitted a letter to the Governor requesting cancellation of bail of convicted Salman Khan for supporting a convict.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.Yakub Memon worked on the mission of mass murder. His sympathy can only come from fellow convict who fails to appreciate mercy shown to him."

Following are Salman Khan's tweets on twitter.

"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."

"Many lives were lost in the Mumbai blasts. And I have repeatedly said the loss of one innocent life is equal to the loss of all humanity.'

"My dad called & said I should retract my tweets as they have the potential to create misunderstanding. I here by retract them."

"I would like to unconditionally apologise for any misunderstanding I may have created unintentionally."

"I also strongly condemn those who are claiming my tweets are anti religious. I have always said I respect all faiths and I always will."
