Priyanka Gandhi's Son Raihan Alleges Bikaner House Pulled Down His Protest Pics Ahead of Exhibition
Vadra said organisers objected to images of Delhi youth protests and the Indian flag, and he plans to show the full collection elsewhere.
- On Wednesday, Bikaner House management forced artist Raihan Rajiv Vadra to remove 74 of 105 photographs from his exhibition "No Idea Is Final" just hours before its opening in New Delhi.
- Management officials claimed the exhibition's "timing and the context" were inappropriate, citing the city's fortified state, despite Vadra sharing a detailed proposal on October 15, 2026.
- The removed images included documentation of recent student protests and the Tiranga, which Vadra refused to remove himself; management took them down after he left the premises.
- Congress leader Priyanka Gandhi Vadra denounced the move as "muzzling" the voice of youth, while party official Pawan Khera questioned the "offence" in photographing public protests.
- Vadra intends to display the full collection at another venue, while the remaining 35 exhibits at Bikaner House stay open to the public until October 25.
