FACT CHECK
When NewsMobile fact-checked the above picture, we found it to be FAKE.
On putting the picture through Reverse Image Search, we found the original picture of Prime Minister Narendra Modi on PIB’s official website in which he is not holding the portrait of Ram Rahim Singh rater he holding a frame of gold coins.
The Union Minister for Finance, Corporate Affairs and Information & Broadcasting, Shri Arun Jaitley and Minister of State for Commerce & Industry (Independent Charge), Smt. Nirmala Sitharaman are also seen.
As it can be seen the original picture, Prime Minister Narendra Modi along with then Finance Minister Arun Jaitley and Nirmala Sitharaman were inaugurating the Gold schemes in New Delhi on November 5th, 2015.
It is clear in the above FAKE vs REAL collage that the real picture was manipulated using Photoshop software.
