Row over the airing of the BBC documentary India's Daughter in Parliament, in the Rajya Sabha.

Home minister Rajnath Singh, says, "I am surprised about the circumstances in which such orders (to shoot documentary) were given. Government has taken necessary legal action, our govt condemns the incident of 2012 and we have obtained a restraining order on broadcasting of the film.

To MP Ali Anwar's question, why the rapists had not been hanged till now, Rajnath replies, "This is court's decision, I can't say anything on that."

SP MP Jaya Bachchan says, "I dont want any more assurances, I want to know what actions are being taken. I have kept quiet for three years, and I refuse to keep quiet any more."

Ambika Soni, RS MP from Congress says the question is how those people got the permission to shoot the documentary.

Javed Akhtar adds, "Achcha hua kii documentary banii, ab pata chalega kitne log hain jo uss rapist jaise soch rakhtey hain."

It's a shame that the overwhelming majority of MPs who spoke out against the delay in justice in the Delhi gang rape were women. 

Anu Aga, former chief of Thermax, says the documentary exposes the mindset of men.  "Let us not pretend that all is well," she said.
