“The photo shows former PM Manmohan Singh and Sharad Pawar meeting the Pakistan cricket team during their tour of India shortly after the 26/11 Mumbai attacks in 2008.”
What FACTLY found
The viral photo does not show former PM Manmohan Singh and Sharad Pawar meeting the Pakistan cricket team shortly after the 26/11 Mumbai attacks in November 2008. The photo is from 30 March 2011, when PM Manmohan Singh and Pakistani PM Yousuf Raza Gilani met the Pakistan team before the India-Pakistan World Cup semi-final in Mohali. India did not tour Pakistan after the 26/11 attacks, as the series scheduled for January–February 2009 was cancelled due to security concerns.
