Raihan Vadra’s Delhi protest photos row: Keralam offers to host show
New Delhi: The recent removal of some photos of the recent Delhi protests at AICC general secretary Priyanka Gandhi Vadra's photographer-artist son Raihan Rajiv Vadra's exhibition has taken a larger political turn. While Congress chief minister V D Satheesan offered Keralam's readiness to host Raihan's exhibition in its entirety, the All India Congress Committe (AICC) condemned removal of Vadra Jr's photos, and said there's "nothing wrong" in some states inviting him to host the exhibition.

After AICC's stand and given the Gandhi-Vadra family scion's strategic standing in the Congress scheme of things, many in the party circles now expect other Congress CMs and party setups to rally around Raihan, whose move to display photos of Delhi protests is already being seen by them as a political messaging.


"Kerala would be happy and proud to host Raihan Vadra's No Idea Is Final exhibition in its entirety. No exclusions, no exceptions", Chief Minister Satheesan said in a social media post, tagging Raihan and his mother.

Congress spokesperson Pawan Khera said; "Why is the government trying to curb the expression of a young artist?. Obviously Raihan belongs to the family of Priyankaji and Robertji. If someone invites him to host the exhibition in their state, nothing wrong with that. So, what is BJP's problem? The fact of the matter is they have been caught red-handed trying to stop protestors from protesting, from taking photos of protests and from displaying those photos".
