Female journalists sat in front at a Taliban press conference in Delhi on Sunday, drawing attention across India. The event followed criticism after women were blocked from the minister’s first press meet on Friday. Taliban Foreign Minister Amir Khan Muttaqi said the exclusion was “not deliberate” and due to short notice. Indian journalist groups called the act discriminatory and criticized the government for not objecting. The second press conference allowed all media to attend. Reporters asked tough questions about women’s rights and education in Afghanistan, with Muttaqi saying some limits exist but women’s education is “not forbidden.”
