TRUE OR FALSE?

On doing a reverse image search, The Quint found out that the image has been doctored.

The original picture is taken from an Ary News article, a Pakistani news agency, which shows the Pakistani PM, Imran Khan, having a conversation with the country’s Army Chief. The chairs seen behind them, in the original picture, are empty.

Clearly, the user had meant to use the photoshopped picture to slam the Opposition.
