Disputed issue cropped image, capturing revolutionary over there – not here (3,6)
I believe the answer is:
hot potato
'disputed issue' is the definition.
'hot potato' can be an answer for 'issue' (I have seen 'Controversial issue' mean 'hot potato' so perhaps 'issue' could also mean 'hot potato'). I am not sure about the 'disputed' bit.
I can't explain the remainder of the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for hot potato that I've seen before include "contentious question" , "Problem that's painful to grasp" , "troublesome affair" , "controversial political issue?" , "Troublesome situation of sultry spud" .)
