New Delhi: The Opposition was on Saturday outraged at the exclusion of women journalists from a press conference of visiting Afghan Foreign Minister Amir Khan Muttaqi at the embassy here, calling it “shocking and unacceptable” and claiming that Prime Minister was telling Indian women that he is “too weak to stand up for them” when he allowed it to happen.

Leader of Opposition in Lok Sabha Rahul Gandhi said women have the right to equal participation in every space and Modi’s silence “in the face of such discrimination exposes the emptiness of your slogans on ‘nari shakti’ (women power).”

“Mr Modi, when you allow the exclusion of women journalists from a public forum, you are telling every woman in India that you are too weak to stand up for them,” he posted on ‘X’.
