YouTube Description
as posted by the channel"India has banned the broadcast of a controversial documentary in which one of the men involved in the gang-rape and murder of a student is shown blaming the victim – a move the film's maker called "arbitrary censorship."
Home Minister Rajnath Singh told parliament on Wednesday the comments of Mukesh Singh, one of five men convicted over the 2012 attack in New Delhi, were "highly derogatory and an affront to the dignity of women."
"The government condemns it," he said of the documentary "India's Daughter," from award-winning British filmmaker Leslee Udwin, who won rare access to New Delhi's Tihar jail to interview the prisoner on death row.
"It will not allow any organization to leverage such an incident and use it for commercial purpose," Rajnath Singh said of the film, which charts the aftermath of the fatal gang-rape. He also vowed to investigate how a film crew managed to interview the death row inmate.
Singh's comments came after a New Delhi court late Tuesday issued an order banning media from showing the film. The reasons for the ban were not immediately clear, but some in India have expressed concern that a convicted rapist was being given a platform for his views."
