Below is the Real Image Which Was Later Photoshopped
However, on close observation, the claim turns out to be false, as can be seen in the above images. Not only is the image photoshopped, but the message shared along with the image is also politically motivated and seems to be done to benefit a particular political outfit during the election season in India. The claim also brings to light the menace of fake news doing rounds on social media platforms and Facebook.
Fact check
Congress President Rahul Gandhi ate Biryani with Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan.
The image that is being shared on social media as a proof is photoshopped and done with malicious intent. The real image had Imran Khan's former wife Reham Khan sitting next to Imran Khan. Hence, the claim that Rahul Gandhi shared a meal with Imran Khan is completely false.
