00:00It's straight away bringing you a big breaking news.
00:03This is with regards to B. Kanner House admitting removal of Raihan photographs also.
00:09He says few pictures, they have said that few pictures were inconsistent with the policy.
00:15We're talking about Raihan Vadra, the son of Congress MP Priyanka Vadra.
00:20And the officials have said that the remaining pictures of course are being displayed at the moment.
00:27Also, Cultural Institute has defended Raihan's decision.
00:32Also, B. Kanner House has cited strict compliance clause for the reason for not displaying some of his photographs.
00:39Raihan was asked to remove the stir images, the protest images that he was displaying.
00:44Also, the B. Kanner House Society on Thursday had said that it had sought the removal of certain photographs from
00:51Raihan Vadra's exhibition
00:53after finding them inconsistent with its policy, adding that the remaining pictures continue to be displayed.
01:00In a statement, the Society has said it is a public cultural institution dedicated to promoting art and culture
01:07and that exhibitions and associated activities must comply with the B. Kanner House Management Society policy.
01:15Certain photographs displayed as part of Mr. Raihan Vadra's exhibition.
01:19No idea is final. That was the title.
01:23At B. Kanner House were found to be inconsistent with the policy of the B. Kanner House Management Society.
01:30We have with us Rahul Gautam's bite now coming in on that.
01:38Rahul Gautam is now coming in live on the program as well to give us more details on the same.
01:43Rahul, first up, let's quickly try and understand what were the photographs where the issues were raised
01:50of Raihan Vadra's photographs at the B. Kanner House.
01:54And, you know, he seems to have consistently said that all of these photographs were already displayed to them before,
02:01the layout was showed to them before, but a week before there was no sort of any opposition that was
02:07raised.
02:07Why suddenly it was raised right when the opening was to happen?
02:15Well, you know, precisely this was the question that I asked, you know, Raihan Vadra about the nature of pictures
02:23by the B. Kanner House Management, to which he said that there were no such pictures that had any sort
02:31of
02:31slovens or pictures of any politician, there might be some pictures, you know, some long shots of the crowd or
02:40people waving, say, Ranga.
02:41But as such, there were no political pictures or political, you know, slovens that were part of the exhibition.
02:48But still, you know, they were not allowed to be showcased by the management.
02:54In fact, he said that I myself also shared the layout of the entire collection.
03:01And, you know, this is not the first time when I'm, you know, holding an exhibition at B. Kanner House.
03:07He confirmed to us that he has already showcased over one dozen, you know, of his works at the same
03:15place.
03:16But this time around, Raihan claimed that it was the management of B. Kanner House that said that the timing
03:23is problematic,
03:24I think the timing is not appropriate, even the fact that Delhi has witnessed, you know, a series of protests,
03:32you know, pertaining to the alleged vote jury and, you know, campaign against the CAC.
03:40So, therefore, he was conveyed that some of us are, you know, objectionable, are fearful in nature.
03:49And, you know, Raihan told us, you know, he was actually surprised to know.
03:53Right. Rahul, thanks for getting us those details.
03:56So, viewers, as we know, on the evening of 21st October, visitors to No Idea is Final,
04:01the photography exhibition at Delhi's B. Kanner House found empty red walls with nails in them
04:07and a catalog showing what should have hung there.
04:09But the photographs were by these 26-year-old Raihan Wadra, the son of Congress leader Priyanka Gandhi Wadra.
04:16And, of course, you know, these about 75 of the 105 photographs had been ordered to be removed that afternoon.
04:23So, feeling which the exhibition would be cancelled as well.
04:27So, now, of course, there is a statement coming in from B. Kanner House that there are some rules that
04:32have to be abided by
04:33as far as the management is concerned.
