Upon reverse searching the image on Google, Alt News found that the image represents a group of protesters burning the Indian National flag in Pakistan and NOT India. In July 2015, this image was published along with a blog<\/a> titled, “Pakistani protesters burn a poster of PM Narendra Modi”. <\/em> On searching for the images related to the protest, we found the original photograph clicked by an Associated Press <\/em>(AP) photographer.<\/p>\n

The caption posted with the image reads, “Pakistani protesters burn an Indian flag during a protest in Multan, Pakistan, Thursday, June 11, 2015. Pakistan has reacted angrily to comments made by the Indian prime minister that reportedly acknowledged Indian forces had a role in the war that created Bangladesh, part of Pakistan until 1971 when separatists won independence after a war.”<\/em><\/p>\n

An attempt was made to provoke violence against the members of the Muslim community by using a photograph from Pakistan.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
