Kirron Kher speaks out on Dec 16 documentary: 'Mentality needs to be changed'

BJP MP Kirron Kher spoke out on the Dec 16 documentary and said that amidst all the controversy, one should not lose focus on the fact that the mindset has to be changed. While speaking in Lok Sabha, she said, "We have to tackle this problem from the grassroot where the mindset is such that you insult women. What is the point of having 'Beti Bachao' when such a mentality exists?" Union home minister Rajnath Singh on Wednesday said the government has taken necessary action to stop the telecast of a documentary based on the interview with a convict in the December 16 gang-rape case. The issue forced the adjournment of the house for 15 minutes amidst noisy scenes earlier as members expressed outrage over the interview.
