Afghan Foreign Minister Amir Khan Muttaqi faced backlash for excluding women journalists from a press conference in New Delhi on October 10. The Editors Guild of India and the Indian Women’s Press Corps condemned the exclusion as discriminatory. In response, Muttaqi clarified that the omission was due to a "technical issue" and invited women journalists to a subsequent inclusive press conference on October 12. The Indian government distanced itself from the event, stating it had no involvement in organizing the earlier press meet. (PC: India Today)
