Documentary: Rajnath speaks amid uproar in R S
"I was deeply hurt by this when I came to know about it yesterday.I spoke to authorities and made sure all steps taken to stop the broadcast," Singh said.
" The govt will institute an inquiry into this incident and responsibility will be fixed," he said.
The Rajya Sabha witnessed a ruckus on the issue of the documentary.
Speaking on the issue, BSP supremo Mayawati said: "I am requesting the Home Minister to probe into the fact that how permissions were given to interview the rapist?"
The Information and Broadcasting Ministry has issued a notice to ban the telecast of the documentary which has triggered a row in the country.
One of the rapist-killers of Nirbhaya, whose fatal gang-rape in Dec 2012 in New Delhi led to a nationwide outrage, said in a documentary to be premiered on NDTV that the girl was to be blamed for her death since she should not have resisted the rape and allowed them to do what they wanted.
The documentary, "India's daughter" has been made by British filmmaker Leslee Udwin.
Mukesh Singh, who was driving the bus in which the girl was brutally assaulted and has been sentenced to death, said in the documentary, "Women are more responsible for rape than men."
"When being raped, she shouldn't fight back. She should just be silent and allow the rape. Then they'd have dropped her off after 'doing her', and only hit the boy," quoted NDTV from the documentary.
