FACT CHECK
NewsMobile fact-checked the above picture and found it to be FAKE.
On putting the picture through Reverse Image Search, we found the original picture on PM Modi’s official website.
As we can see in the original picture, the title of the book is – “Kutch: A Pictorial Journey”.
The picture was clicked on April 30th, 2013 during the inauguration of 2nd Ahmedabad National Book Fair.
In the above FAKE vs REAL collage, it is clear that the original picture of PM Modi was manipulated using photo editing software.
