New Delhi: Arjun Ram Meghwal has replaced Kiren Rijiju as the Union Minister for Law and Justice. According to a press communiqué from the Rashtrapati Bhavan , Meghwal has been assigned the independent charge as Minister of State in the Ministry of Law and Justice, in addition to his existing portfolios, in place of Kiren Rijiju.
Rijiju, known to be one of the government’s most high-profile ministers and a troubleshooter, has been moved to the relatively low-key Ministry of Earth Sciences, less than a year after he was promoted to the Law Ministry with cabinet status.
A short statement from the President’s House announced the change this morning, citing the Prime Minister’s advice. Mr Rijiju changed his Twitter bio shortly after.
