Image from Bangladesh<\/h2>\n

If one notices carefully, the viral photograph carries a stamp that says – “robertharding.com.”<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

A simple reverse-search on Google throws up the link of the website<\/a> where the image was uploaded. The website describes the photograph as –\u00a0“Muslims are praying at in the road due to large number Muslims gathered at Bishaw ijtema at Tongi, Bangladesh.”\u00a0<\/em>It has also given the name of the photographer, M. Yousuf Tusha.<\/p>\n
