Recently, during a show in Saudi Arabia, Bollywood actor Salman Khan had described Balochistan as a separate country from Pakistan, due to which the neighboring country is upset. Shahbaz government has declared Salman Khan a terrorist. Pakistan’s Home Ministry has also issued a notification regarding this.

The Home Department of Pakistan has put Salman Khan in the Fourth Schedule, that is, he has been declared a terrorist. This list comes under the Anti-Terrorism Act and legal action can be taken against the person included in it in Pakistan. An official notification has also been issued in this regard. However, there is no reaction yet on this matter from Salman Khan or his representatives.

What did Salman Khan say?

A video of Bollywood actor Salman Khan speaking at the Joy Forum 2025 held in Saudi Arabia has gone viral on social media. In this video he said, “These are people of Balochistan, people of Afghanistan, people of Pakistan, everyone is working hard in Saudi Arabia.” In this statement he separated the name of Balochistan from Pakistan.

After this statement of Salman, anger has spread in Pakistan, while the separatist leaders of Balochistan are happy with this and are thanking Salman. At present it is not clear whether Salman deliberately separated the name of Balochistan from Pakistan or said so unknowingly.

What did Baloch leaders say on Salman’s statement?

Mir Yar Baloch, a leader who demands making Balochistan an independent country, said, “Indian film industry legend Salman Khan’s mention of Balochistan in Saudi Arabia has brought happiness to six crore Baloch citizens.”

He further said, “Salman did something that even big countries would hesitate in doing. These gestures of cultural recognition are a powerful medium of soft diplomacy, connecting the hearts of people and inspiring the world to recognize Balochistan as a separate nation.”

Freedom fight going on in Balochistan

The biggest reason for the insurgency in Balochistan is discrimination against the population here by the Pakistan government. This province is very rich in mineral resources, but economically it is the most backward state of Pakistan.

Pakistan handed over Gwadar Port located in Balochistan to China, but this project did not benefit the people of Balochistan. For this reason, there is continuous opposition to Chinese projects here. The construction work of China-Pakistan Economic Corridor is going on here, where attacks often take place.

The area of ​​Balochistan is about 46% of Pakistan, but its population is only 15 million, i.e. about 6% of the total population of Pakistan. About 70% people here live below the poverty line.

Furthermore, people of Baloch origin face discrimination in Pakistan, mainly by Muslims from the Punjab region. Even in the Pakistani Army, Baloch people are not appointed to top positions, which further increases the dissatisfaction.
