Wave of reactions to Amir Khan Muttaqi’s behavior with female journalists in New Delhi.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The action of Amir Khan Muttaqi, the Taliban’s foreign minister, in preventing female journalists from entering his press conference in New Delhi has been met with strong reactions from Indian politicians and journalists.<\/strong><\/p>\n

According to media sources in India, female journalists were stopped by Taliban guards when they entered the press conference venue and were prevented from attending the meeting.<\/strong><\/p>\n

This behavior, which has been described as contrary to the principles of democracy and media freedom, has greatly inflamed the media atmosphere in Delhi.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Indian Parliamentarian Mahbub Moitra from the Congress Party criticized the Indian government’s stance on this incident, writing on her account:<\/strong><\/p>\n

“Allowing the Taliban minister to humiliate female journalists is a clear insult to all Indian women. This behavior is not only shameful, but also a sign of political weakness and hypocrisy.”<\/strong><\/p>\n

Indian media activists have also said in a more strident tone: \u201cIt is unthinkable that the Taliban\u2019s misogynistic laws would be implemented in the heart of a democratic country.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

In India\u2019s political landscape, many critics are asking:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Is India, as one of the world\u2019s largest democracies, willing to sacrifice the principles of media freedom for diplomatic expediency with the Taliban? So far, they have not received an answer.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
