Priyanka Gandhi’s son, artist Raihan Vadra, says photographs depicting youth protests in Delhi are removed from his upcoming exhibition at Bikaner House in New Delhi, ahead of its opening. Vadra links the removals to objections over the content and to how late the decision was taken, and he reacts publicly to the change.
Across reports, the exhibition is described as being held at Bikaner House, run by the Rajasthan government. Times of India and The Hindu say management asked for the removal of some or most of the protest images shortly before the show, with The Hindu quoting Vadra saying the removal happened about hours before opening. NDTV reports Vadra’s reaction as well, including that he attributes the decision to the images being considered “objectionable.”
The outlets also differ slightly in emphasis: some stress the timing and the management’s instruction, while others focus on Vadra’s explanation that he had received prior communication. None of the provided summaries includes a direct response from Bikaner House officials beyond noting they have not commented.
