Actor Salman Khan is at the center of a major international controversy. The issue started after his comments during an address at the Riyadh Forum. A video clip went viral where he appeared to refer to Pakistan and Balochistan as separate countries. This statement has sparked an intense debate online, leading to serious and unconfirmed allegations.
The ‘Terrorist List’ Rumor
The controversy exploded on social media, especially on platform X (formerly Twitter). Widely shared posts allege that the Balochistan government has declared Salman Khan a terrorist. These rumors claim his name has been added to Pakistan’s ‘Fourth Schedule’ under the country’s Anti-Terrorism Act (1997).
This schedule is a serious list used to monitor individuals suspected of having connections to extremist or banned organizations. If Salman Khan’s name was actually on this list, it would mean he is under strict legal scrutiny, could face travel restrictions, and would be under ongoing government vigilance.
Is This News Real?
This is the big question everyone is asking: is this news real? As of right now, no credible sources have confirmed it. A notification dated October 16, 2025, has been circulated online as “evidence.” This document, shared by a social media user, reportedly names Salman as an “Azad Balochistan Facilitator.”
However, it is very important to note that no major Pakistani media outlet or any official government channel has confirmed that this document is authentic. This raises serious questions about whether the claims are true or just a fast-spreading rumor. The entire claim is based on unverified social media posts for now.
The Comment That Started It All
The uproar began after the video clip from the Riyadh Forum surfaced. Salman Khan was on stage with Shah Rukh Khan and Aamir Khan, discussing the growing influence of Indian films in the Middle East. In his speech, Salman said, “Right now, if you make a Hindi film and release it in Saudi Arabia, it will be a superhit. If you make a Tamil, Telugu, or Malayali film, it will do hundreds of crores in business because so many people from other countries have come here.”
He then added, “There are people from Balochistan, there are people from Afghanistan, there are people from Pakistan, everyone is working here.” Listing Balochistan separately from Pakistan is what caused the controversy and led to the backlash.
Awaiting Official Word
As the situation continues to develop, everyone is waiting for an official statement. Salman Khan himself has not commented publicly on the controversy. The Balochistan government has also not released any official statement to confirm or deny his inclusion on the Fourth Schedule of Pakistan’s Anti-Terrorism Act. For now, the entire incident is based on unverified social media claims, and observers are awaiting an authoritative clarification to understand the truth of the matter.
