“As a female member of cabinet in NUG, I can say with confidence that these allegations are baseless. I ask NSC @hmohib & AWN @MaryAkrami to follow up this matter. We have advocated for women political participation for decades and can’t let it be used for political rivalries,” Nargis, the minister of mines and petroleum said in a Twitter post.
Reacting to allegations, presidential spokesperson Shah Hussain Murtazawi has said that a psychological war is being waged to defame the officials and government.
