A doctored image has been shared repeatedly on social media along with a false claim that it shows a woman protesting in Indonesia against Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi during the G20 summit in November. The posts surfaced after the summit concluded in Bali on November 16. The journalist who took the original photo told AFP it was in fact taken in the United States in July, after the Supreme Court's decision to overturn the country's federal right to abortion.

"The international leader is being opposed in foreign countries as well -- this photo is from Bali, Indonesia. Now he must realise that it's high time he should leave," reads a Hindi-language tweet shared here on November 17, 2022.

The image, which has been shared more than 1,100 times, appears to show a woman holding up a sign that reads "Go back Modi… again go back Modi" while she stands in the middle of a road.

The slogan "Go back Modi" is often used in protests targeting the Indian prime minister.

Indian broadcaster NDTV reported that it was used during a protest when Modi visited Chennai in April 2018 and Al Jazeera reported that the slogan was used in Kolkata in January 2020 by protesters opposing Modi's visit to the eastern city.

The slogan was also used when the prime minister visited Hyderabad on November 13, 2022, according to the Times of India newspaper.
