Pakistan’s Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif is shown in a widely circulated group photograph that places him in front of India’s Prime Minister Narendra Modi during an event connected to the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (SCO), according to NDTV. The image is described as being taken before a session of the 26th SCO Summit in Bishkek, Kyrgyzstan, with leaders of member countries standing together.
The report frames the change as Sharif “cropping out” Modi so that Sharif takes “centre stage” in the picture. However, the provided information focuses on how the image is presented and circulated rather than on any explanation from the parties involved or from organisers about the circumstances of who stands where in official group photographs.
