Truth
The viral image is fake, MP Raut is added to the image digitally.
While conducting a reverse image of the morphed image, the shown result was the tweet of CMO Maharashtra with PM Narendra Modi. The meeting was regarding the discussion on the Maharashtra quota issue and GST compensation dated June 8. The original tweet says, “CM Uddhav Balasaheb Thackeray met with the Hon’ble Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi today along with Deputy CM Ajit Pawar & Minister Ashok Chavan.

On doing a reverse image search of Sanjay Raut, results reveal MP playing the harmonium. The edited image shows Sanjay Raut serving tea in the meeting instead of playing the Harmonium.
