Used to call himself an Indian born in Pakistan
Tariq Fateh used to call himself an Indian born in Pakistan. He once said, ‘I am an Indian born in Pakistan, a Punjabi born in Islam; An expatriate in Canada with a Muslim conscience and a youth inspired by Marxism. He openly said that his forefathers were Hindus. Every person in India is a Hindu. Such statements often come from the RSS too that every person born in India is a Hindu, irrespective of his creed.
Used to tell India the safest country for Muslims
Tariq Fateh often praised India and criticized Pakistan. In an interview given to our associate newspaper Times of India in April 2013, he had said, ‘India is the only country where Muslims can propagate themselves without any fear. Indian Muslims are more capable than Pakistan and Bangladesh.
had predicted the disintegration of Pakistan soon
In the same interview, he had said, ‘Pakistan will break up soon. Pakistan is not a country, it is an idea. If you want to know Pakistan then you go to Dhaka, not Islamabad. All the states in Pakistan have nothing to do with Pakistan…. Balochistan was an independent state which was illegally occupied by Pakistan through the army. It is in illegal occupation of Kashmir.
‘If India ends, the world will also end’
Similarly, in another interview, he even said that if there is India then there is the world, if India ends then the world will end. He said in a English news channel India TV’s program ‘Aapki Adalat’, ‘You (India) are the biggest civilization in the world. He has shown the way to the world for 10,000 years. Made the temple by cutting the mountains. Why are you getting defensive? Who told them to build the mosque (Babri)? You were not born here, you died somewhere else. They came and built a mosque on a temple and divided the whole country. Defense of India is the end of civilization. If there is India then there is the world, if India ends then the world ends.
India’s surgical strike praised
In an interview given to an Indian news channel in 2016, he praised the surgical strike of the Indian Army. He said, ‘India did not attack Pakistan, it only attacked terrorist camps at the place where Pakistan was in illegal occupation for the last 70 years.’ In the same interview, he called Pakistan a joke. Fateh had said, ‘Pakistan is not a country in itself, it is just a mindset. Afghanistan belongs to Afghans, Bangladesh belongs to Bengalis, Kazakhstan belongs to Kazakhs, Who belongs to Pakistan? Pakistan was a joke on all of us.
Muslims of India were told lucky
Tariq Fateh said in the same interview, ‘Muslims of India are lucky to live in a country where they can breathe freely and they should believe in ‘Allah’s Islam’ and not ‘Mullah’s Islam’ ‘
When a sharp question was asked on the ‘insult’ of a Hindu judge in Pakistan
He strongly criticized the Hindu judge in Pakistan taking oath in the name of Allah. He had said in an interview, ‘On March 24, 2007, Justice Rana Bhagwandas took oath as Acting Chief Justice of Pakistan with the words, ‘May Almighty Allah help me and guide me, Ameen.’ Imagine if a Muslim judge in India, America or Canada would have been forced to take an oath on the Bible or the Gita! You find angry protesters on the streets all over the world. Where were these protesters when Justice Bhagwandas was being publicly humiliated?
