There was controversy regarding the absence of women journalists
During Muttaki’s visit to Delhi, a controversy arose over the absence of women journalists in the press conference. Opposition leaders and many media organizations had called it an insult to women. India’s Ministry of External Affairs said that it had no involvement in the planning of this press conference. As the controversy escalated, Muttaki held another press conference on Sunday, in which many women journalists were invited. In this he clarified that we had no intention of excluding women journalists. The first press conference was held impromptu, so only a few journalists were called. This mistake was not done intentionally.
