Actor Raza Murad, said: “That's Salman's personal opinion and he has a right to express opinion as a citizen of democratic nation.” Whereas, lawyer Abha Singh questioned Salman's statement. She said, “Salman himself is a convict who has been given a punishment of 5 years, still he has the audacity to say Yakub is innocent. Is he trying to question judicial system of country? His statement is very improper & against rule of law.”
