Artist Raihan Vadra, son of Congress leader Priyanka Gandhi Vadra, has questioned the removal of 70 photographs documenting protests in Delhi from his exhibition at Bikaner House. Vadra alleged that officials asked him to remove 2 photographs of the Indian flag, even after he had set aside images featuring political slogans. He said officials later removed one photograph themselves. Vadra also questioned the timing, claiming he was informed just 4 hours before the exhibition opened. He argued that public art institutions should protect artistic freedom and questioned whether political pressure influenced the decision, though he said he had no proof.
