An image is going viral on social media which shows that PM Modi is wearing a keffiyeh, a kind of Arabic headgear during his recent visit to Saudi Arab.
The caption on the image claims that PM Modi wore the keffiyeh upon his arrival in Riyadh. It also implies that PM Modi wore the headgear to impress his hosts.
Here’s the viral post:
However, when a reverse image search was done, it was found that the viral photo is photoshopped. It has been constructed using an image posted by PM Modi. The official account of PM Modi had tweeted the images on Tuesday, October 29 mentioning that he had landed in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. PM Modi was welcomed by Riyadh Governor Prince Faisal bin Bandar Al Saud at the airport.
In the original photograph, PM Modi is not wearing the keffiyeh. Check out the original post:

So the claim of PM Modi wearing the Arabic headgear during his visit to Saudi Arabia is FALSE.
