Nihal Chand Meghwal remains defiant, refuses to resign over rape charge

As political leaders continue to demand for Union Minister of State for Chemicals and Fertilizers, Nihal Chand Meghwal's resignation, who is an accused in a rape case of a married woman, the newly elected minister on Wednesday ruled out his resignation.
