Acting Afghan Foreign Minister Amir Khan Muttaqi addressed a press conference at the Afghanistan Embassy in New Delhi today. However, the event drew criticism after it emerged that no female journalists were allowed to attend the briefing.
Muttaqi, representing the Taliban-led interim government, spoke on Afghanistan’s relations with neighboring countries and ongoing humanitarian issues. The exclusion of women reporters has been widely condemned by media circles and rights activists, calling it a reflection of the Taliban’s restrictive policies extending beyond Afghanistan’s borders.
