Anger after female journalists excluded from Afghan embassy event in India
Indian politicians and journalists have criticised the government for failing to speak out after female journalists were excluded from a press event with the Afghan Taliban foreign minister in Delhi.
Around 16 male reporters were selected to attend a forum on Friday with Foreign Minister Amir Khan Muttaqi at the Afghan embassy. Journalists observed women and foreign media being turned away.
India's Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) said it "had no involvement in the press interaction" at the Afghan embassy.
A source in the Taliban government admitted women had not been invited to attend.
