Claim: A photo of Stalin was featured in Times Square, New York.
Fact-check: An edited image of M.K Stalin featured in Times Square (NYC) is shared linking it to his ongoing visit to the U.S. - FACTLY
Verdict: a times square photo on the clio and an article from the nantucket preservation trust titled "friday find: history of one times square," published on 02 january 2015, show similarities to the viral image. on comparison, it is clear that the image of chief minister m.k. stalin had been edited to replace these advertisements. however, it is unclear in which year the original photograph was taken, as it has been shared on social media since 2011 and featured on websites for several years. hence the claim made in the post is false.
