Afghanistani Foreign Minister Amir Khan Muttaqi responded to the controversy around the absence of journalists from their press two days ago. He said it was more of a “technical problem”.
“As for the press conference, it was in a short time and a short list of journalists was determined and the list of participation was presented very specific,” said Amir Khan Muttaqi.
“It was more of a technical problem … Our colleagues decided to send an invitation to a specific list of journalists, and there was no other intention,” he said on Sunday, October 12.
What is the controversy?
Afghan Minister Muttaqi landed in controversy after Indian women’s journalists were reportedly forbidden to participate in the press conference at the Afghanistan Embassy.
The leader of the opposition in Lok Sabha and the leader of the congress Rahul Gandhi hit the premiere of Narendra Modi over the absence of female journalists from the coat.
Rahul Gandhi wrote about X: “Modi, if you allow the exclusion of female journalists from the public forum, you tell every woman in India that you are too weak to stand up for them.
“In our country, women have the right to the same participation in every space. Your silence in the face of such discrimination exposes the emptiness of your Highs on Nari Shakti,” said Rahul Gandhi.
Later, opposition and media bodies marked the absence of women from journalists from a press conference “unacceptable” and “insulting women”. On Saturday they said that the silence of PM Modi in the face of such discrimination exposes the “emptiness” of their slogans to “Nari Shakti”.
The Guild of India and Indian Women Press Corps (IWPC) have described this law as highly discriminatory, which cannot be justified for the diplomatic privilege according to the Vienna Convention, PTI reported.
Amir Khan Muttaqi called another press interaction on Sunday (October 12) and this time invited female journalists.
Visit to Afghan Minister in India
Muttaqi, who landed on Thursday in Nový Dilli on a six -day journey, is the first head of Taliban, who visited India after confiscating power four years ago. From 9 to 16 October is on a weekly visit to India.
India has not yet recognized the Taliban settings.
A visit to the Afghan Foreign Minister in India came at a time when India and Afghanistan have freezing relations with Pakistan in a number of questions, including cross -border terrorism.
Earlier Saturday, the Afghan Minister said “the future of India-Afghanistan relations seems to be very clear” and thanked Ulema and people for their acceptance.
“The journey has been very good so far. Not only Darul Uloom, but all the people in this area have come here.
