Dubai: Raihan Vadra, son of Congress leader Priyanka Gandhi Vadra, has alleged that Bikaner House management in New Delhi asked him to remove several photographs documenting youth protests from his exhibition, No Idea Is Final , shortly before its scheduled opening.

The exhibition initially featured more than 100 artworks. Raihan alleged that they removed more than 70 photographs, leaving around 40 on display and two rooms on the first floor of Bikaner House’s Contemporary Art Gallery (CCA) building largely bare. His mother, Priyanka Gandhi, condemned the reported move, saying, “It’s not a democracy anymore.”

In an Instagram post on Wednesday, Raihan said the management objected to the photographs' content, describing it as “objectionable”. He also claimed that he was asked to remove two photographs featuring the Indian national flag.

“I will not take down a picture of the Indian flag,” he wrote, adding that the exhibition would continue with the remaining artworks.…
