"Virbhadra Singh has said that he would consider filing a defamation action against me. He is certainly entitled to do so. In that event I would be pleading truth as defence and cross examining him on each of these issues," Jaitley, a renowned lawyer, wrote on his Facebook.

The BJP leader has written a letter to Prime Minister Manmohan Singh in which he had levelled the charges. He also attached 20 documents claiming these to be as "evidence". A copy of the documents has also been sent to the CBI director.
