The Congress party on Thursday said India is a damaged society and urged Prime Minister Narendra Modi-led NDA Government at the Centre to arrest the whole culture of being an anti-women society instead of focusing on the Nirbhaya documentary.

"There are legal provisions that is something for the government to investigate etc....I think we need to accept that we have some serious flaws. We are damaged in a great number of ways. I think India is a damaged society, any society that treats women with a kind of attitude and hostility and almost atrocious level of kind of negativity, I think needs to wake up......," Congress spokesperson Sanjay Jha said.

"The Modi Government instead of focusing on the documentary, I believe, needs to look at how to arrest the whole culture of anti-women society that we have. When you have people from the BJP and RSS saying that today a Hindu woman must produce four children, that is the problem. Mr. Modi and his government must focus on that, that is where you are sending wrong signals to the society," he added.

The Congress spokesperson further said there is a need to understand and empathize with the viewpoint of Nirbhaya's family as well for they have felt the pain and anguish of her death.

"I have read an interview of Nirbhaya's father........He seems to suggest that in that interview that he is for its broadcast. If anybody has felt the pain and anguish and the trauma of Nirbhaya's death, I don't think anybody could have imagined that as much or felt that as much as her parents and her family have," he said.

Nirbhaya's father has questioned the ban on screening of India's Daughter', the documentary based on the 2012 Delhi gang-rape. He has reportedly said the documentary holds a mirror to the society and its mindset, and should be watched by everybody.

The documentary has been aired by the BBC despite the government's embargo on the same.

Union Home Ministry has asked the media not to broadcast the documentary.

A Delhi court has also restrained the media from publishing, broadcasting, telecasting or uploading the interview on the internet.

The Information and Broadcasting Ministry has also issued a media advisory on the issue.
