Congress leader Priyanka Gandhi Vadra on Thursday took a veiled swipe at the Centre over the removal of photographs from her son Raihan Vadra's exhibition at Bikaner House in New Delhi, saying those who fear artistic expression have already lost the power they seek to protect.

The controversy erupted after Raihan, an artist and photographer, alleged that the venue's administration removed several photographs documenting recent student-led protests in the national capital shortly before his solo exhibition, titled No Idea is Final, was scheduled to open.
