Union Minister Arjun Ram Meghwal apologized for his comments on poet-saint Meerabai after backlash. Meghwal clarified that her brother-in-law troubled her, not her husband. He expressed regret for any hurt caused. The Rajput community demanded the apology. Meerabai, a 16th-century mystic poet, married Bhojraj in 1516 and devoted herself to Krishna after his death.
