New Delhi [India], October 12 (ANI): Congress leader Rashid Alvi slammed the Centre over the absence of women journalists in a press conference held by Afghanistan 's Foreign Minister Amir Khan Muttaqi, claiming that Prime Minister Narendra Modi bowed down to the Afghan Minister.

Speaking to ANI on Saturday, Alvi held the Centre responsible for the move rather than the Afghan Minister.

"It's understandable that the Prime Minister would bow to Trump and China, but the Indian government would bow to Amir Khan Muttaqi, who doesn't allow women to attend press conferences. This cannot be condemned enough... Amir Khan Muttaqi isn't responsible for this; the Indian government is," Rashid Alvi said.
