New York (U.S.A), Sep 27 (ANI): Replying to a reporter’s suggestion of taking action against use of fake photographs like by Pakistan envoy Maleeha Lodhi, United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) President Miroslav Lajcak said he will think about it. The reporter had asked if he would like to set some factual baseline in terms of the use of photograph depicting something that they didn’t say it was. On September 24, Pakistan's Ambassador to the United Nations Maleeha Lodhi had showed pictures of Palestinian victims and tried to pass them off as 'evidence' of atrocities on Kashmiris. She bashed the picture in her right to reply to External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj's speech at the UN. The picture used by Lodhi was reported by a number of media outlets as that of Rawia Abu Joma'a, a 17-year-old girl, who was injured in Israeli airstrikes on Gaza city in 2014.
