Priyanka Gandhi Slams Centre Over Absence Of Women Journalists At Taliban Presser; MEA Denies Involvement
India on Saturday asserted that it had "no role to play" in the press conference addressed by Afghanistan's Foreign Minister Amir Khan Muttaqi in New Delhi - which sparked outrage as no women were 'allowed' in it.
According to the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA), the invites for the press meet went to select journalists from Afghanistan's Consul General in Mumbai who were stationed in Delhi for the Afghan minister's visit. The Afghan Embassy territory does not come under the jurisdiction of the Indian government, it pointed out.
