Lok Sabha MP Prem Singh Chandumajra today said SAD would file defamation suit against Congress leader Sunil Jakhar for alleging a scam worth Rs 20,000 crore on account of misappropriation of food grains.
"Akali dal will file a defamation suit against Jakhar soon," he said
He claimed that the issuance of Cash Credit Limit (CCL) by the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) has vindicated the stand of SAD-BJP alliance that there was no misappropriation of even a single grain in the state.
He slammed former Chief of Congress Legislature party Jakhar for indulging in cheap politics over this sensitive issue.
The Lok Sabha MP said that had there been a bit of embezzlement in food grains than the RBI would not have issued the CCL to the state.
Chandumajra said that in their mad race to emerge taller than their rivals within the party, the Congress leaders were indulging in mudslinging against the ruling alliance thereby misleading the people of the state.
