Pakistan's false narrative exposed during the ongoing SCO Summit in Bishkek, Kyrgyzstan, in a glaring faux pas by the Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif's office. This time at a global event, Pakistan resorted to petty social media tactics during the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (SCO) Summit.Prime Minister Narendra Modi and four other leaders wer cropped out of the SCO leaders' group photograph shared by the Pakistan PMO. The edited image strategically positioned Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif at the centre.

The photograph was taken during the SCO summit in Bishkek on Tuesday, featuring leaders of the 10 member countries posing together. However, in the image posted by the Pakistan PMO, PM Modi, the Iranian President, and a few other leaders have been cropped out. In contrast, the family photograph posted by PM Modi featured the complete group, including Sharif.

The edited image appeared to be deliberately framed to place Pakistan Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif at the centre, creating the impression that he occupied a more prominent position in the gathering. The SCO family has 10 members but, as per Pakistan PMO photo , only 6 members attended the Summit. They have omitted five leaders.
