flag Pakistan labeled Salman Khan a terrorist for mentioning Balochistan separately, sparking backlash and debate.

flag Pakistan has declared Bollywood actor Salman Khan a terrorist under its 1997 Anti-Terrorism Act after he mentioned Balochistan separately from Pakistan during a speech at the Joy Forum 2025 in Riyadh. flag The remark, which noted people from Balochistan, Afghanistan, and Pakistan working in Saudi Arabia, prompted the Pakistani government to place Khan on a security blacklist, subjecting him to surveillance and travel restrictions. flag While Pakistani officials condemned the comment as a challenge to national sovereignty, Baloch separatist leaders welcomed it as recognition of their region’s distinct identity. flag Balochistan, rich in natural resources but economically marginalized, has long experienced unrest due to allegations of systemic neglect and military operations. flag No formal charges have been filed, and Khan has not publicly responded.
