The review says the viral image was not evidence that the same crowd had been duplicated to exaggerate attendance. It identifies the original as a photo of a National People’s Power rally in Gampaha in March 2023, and says the circulating image was fabricated by editing the genuine photo. (“එහි එකම පිරිස කිහිප වරක් භාවිත කරමින් ඡායාරූප සංස්කරණයක් සිදු කර නොමැති බවයි.”; “මෙය 2023 වසරේ මාර්තු මස, ජාතික ජන බලවේගය විසින් ගම්පහ නගරයේ පැවැත්වූ ජන රැළියක ඡායාරූපයට සමාන බව”)[S1]
