Fatah shared a video of the incident which was earlier uploaded by a Pakistani troll:
*Warning Expletive Language*
Pakistani jihadi goons attack me in New York near the UN Building on Friday. Many such Pakistani gangs screaming Allah-O-Akbar roamed the streets beating up Baloch and Sindhis who protested Pakistan's atrocities and came to support Indian PM @NarendraModipic.twitter.com/eWHeBh9NtO

In the video Fatah can be seen bravely confronting pro-Pakistani protesters in New York while they hurled filthy abuses at him. He is seen accompanied by an activist wearing an “I love Sindhudesh” t-shirt.
Sindhudesh is a name coined by activists fighting for the freedom of Sindh from Pakistan.
As the matter looked like getting out of hand, cops rushed in and led Fatah away from the Pakistanis who also called him an agent of India and a terrorist.
Fatah is a know columnist who has taken various “politically incorrect” positions over Islamists and their supporters.

The 2024 elections might seem easy to guess, but there are some important questions that shouldn't be missed.
