NEW DELHI: Congress MP Priyanka Gandhi Vadra on Saturday sought clarification from the Centre over Afghan Foreign Minister Amir Khan Muttaqi's press conference in Delhi, where women journalists were not permitted to participate.

She questioned how the Central government is committed to women's empowerment if such insults towards female journalists are allowed in India.

Muttaqi, a senior leader in the Taliban government, is known for overseeing policies that severely restrict women's rights in Afghanistan, including bans on employment and education.
