CM Satheesan offers to host Raihan Vadra's exhibition in Keralam

Chief Minister V. D. Satheesan of Kerala has offered to host artist and photographer Raihan Vadra's exhibition, titled "No Idea Is Final," in the state amid controversy over the removal of some of his photographs depicting Delhi protests. Raihan Vadra, nephew of Indian opposition leader Rahul Gandhi and son of Congress leader Priyanka Gandhi Vadra, had claimed that the Bikaner House administration in Delhi removed many of his protest photographs and threatened to cancel the exhibition if he did not comply.

Congress leader Priyanka Gandhi strongly criticized the move, accusing those in power of fearing artistic expression and "muzzling the voices of young people across the country."
