New Delhi : Bollywood actor Salman Khan on Friday supported Pakistani artists who were asked to leave India in wake of militant attack in Uri Army base camp.

Dabangg Khan said that they are just artists and banning them in India is no solution to terrorism.

"Pakistani artistes are just artists and not terrorists. Terrorism and art are two different subjects. They come with a proper visa and the government gives them a work permit," Salman said, when asked about his take on banning actors from Pakistan following the Uri attack.
