This is going to be a real shock I know but Tarek Fatah is on Indian PsyOps/Disinfo payroll. Why are Candian newspapers allowing this hack to sell his propaganda? He is registered as Foreign Agent in Canada?
After the information below -- everything this maderc* says is completely discredited.
In an interview with CBC News, Fatah admitted his columns were being republished in the New Delhi Times and said Srivastava paid him a small fee for it, though he declined to specify how much.
New Delhi Times is a newspaper linked to a group with ties to a huge international network of fake news websites.
Fatah was also listed as the executive director of an NGO called Baluchistan House, described as a think-tank focusing on the Balochistan province of Pakistan. The region has seen ongoing insurgencies against the Pakistani government by Baloch groups seeking independence.
The now-defunct Baluchistan House website was registered by Ankit Srivastava, as were other sites seemingly built for Fatah, such as whatthefatah.com and whatthefatah.net, which never published any content.
According to Fatah, the What the Fatah project is a proposed video series featuring him that he's working on with Srivastava, while the Baluchistan House website registration may have come from an exiled Baloch leader living in London.
"I was merely involved and it never really took off, the Baluchistan House forum," he said.
Fatah's Baluchistan House organized a panel in 2017 in Geneva, where he appeared alongside Polish MEP Ryszard Czarnecki to discuss Balochistan's economic situation. Czarnecki, a conservative politician critical of Pakistan and supportive of India, was amongst the MEPs who visited Kashmir in October.
Fatah said he was not involved with the visit and did not help facilitate it. He also said that while he had met Czarnecki a few times in UN meetings, he didn't speak or meet with Czarnecki outside of that.
Fatah said he was not aware that Srivastava was running a network of fake news sites.
"Why would he do that?" said Fatah, adding it must be "some ridiculous Indian bureaucrat's idea of propaganda."
Concordia's Schofield said the network's promotion of Baloch interests clearly marks it as serving the Indian government's interests. He says that India has been supporting Balochistan independence as a way to put pressure on Pakistan.
"This is definitely political. It's basically an open secret that the Indians have been helping the Baloch," he said. "If [Ankit Srivastava] is doing this type of thing, that's what you'd call a siren alert," that he's in line with the government's policies.
