Old image from Pakistan<\/h2>\n

Alt News had earlier debunked<\/a> this image in May 2019. The image represents a group of protesters burning the Indian National flag in Pakistan, NOT India. In July 2015, this image was published along with a blog<\/a> titled, \u201cPakistani protesters burn a poster of PM Narendra Modi\u201d.<\/em> Upon searching for images related to the protest, we found the original photograph clicked by an Associated Press (AP)<\/em> photographer.<\/p>\n

The caption posted with the image reads,\u00a0\u201cPakistani 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.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

In conclusion, a four-year-old image from Pakistan was falsely shared as Shaheen Bagh protesters burning the Indian national flag at a demonstration against the Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA) and the National Register of Citizens (NRC).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
