LIVE! Rape-accused minister Nihal Chand meets Rajnath

June 20, 2014 13:07

Another important meeting today: Home minister Rajnath Singh met rape-accused union minister Nihal Chand Meghwal today after his meeting with Omar Abdullah. The meeting lasted around 15 minutes. BJP's Rajasthan unit on Thursday said there was no question of his resignation as it was a conspiracy by Congress leaders.

On Tuesday, the woman allegedly raped by Nihal Chand asked Prime Minister Narendra Modi to remove him. Addressing a press conference along with her relatives at Rajasthan's Sriganganagar which falls in Meghwal's constituency, the rape survivor said, "We all know that Narendra Modi is a good person and highlights women rights. I don't think a person like Meghwal should be allowed to continue as a minister. I will try to meet the PM and request him first to remove Meghwal and also help me in get justice."
