Picture of the year \u270c
\nProud moment for every Pakistani \u2764<\/p>\n

US President Donald Trump is seen sitting to the right of Imran Khan, while President of Turkey Raccip Tayyip Erdogan flanks him to the left. The post has been shared over 4000 times already, and going by the comments on the post, several social media users have construed the picture to be real.<\/p>\n

It may be noted that the leaders of India and Pakistan were recently in New York to attend the 74th session of the UNGA. The posting of the image at this juncture is to be seen in this context, seeking to project the Pakistani PM as a towering international political figure who commands respect from heads of state and government worldwide.<\/p>\n

PHOTOSHOPPED IMAGE<\/strong><\/h2>\n

The photograph in question is photoshopped. Alt News had fact-checked<\/a> it earlier when it was shared on social media with a different manipulation- Prime Minister Narendra Modi sitting in the centre, surrounded by other leaders. The original image was clicked by a photographer, Kayhan Ozer for\u00a0Getty Images<\/em><\/a>, an American stock photo agency.\u00a0 The occasion was the G20 Leaders’ Summit in Germany in 2017. The photo was captioned, \u201cPresident of Turkey Recep Tayyip Erdogan (R) talks with US President Donald Trump (L), accompanied by Foreign Affairs Minister of Turkey Mevlut Cavusoglu (2nd R), during a session within the G20 Leaders\u2019 Summit in Hamburg, Germany on July 07, 2017.<\/em>\u201d<\/p>\n

As can be seen in the above image, the seat in the centre of the frame is empty!<\/p>\n

PHOTOSHOPPED TO DEPICT SEVERAL POLITICAL LEADERS\u00a0<\/strong><\/h2>\n

On different occasions, supporters and fans of political leaders have circulated photoshopped versions of the above image, placing their favourite politician on the empty seat. Some of these attempts are satirical. The leaders in the pantheon include Russian President Vladimir Putin and North Korea’s Supreme Leader Kim Jong-un.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

It may be reiterated that the picture of Pakistani PM Imran Khan, seen seated and surrounded by global political leaders, is photoshopped.<\/p>\n
