The SAD will also be filing a criminal defamation plea against the party for character assassination of its party leaders. In a statement issued on Wednesday,Harpreet Singh Brar Incharge of Legal Cell of SAD,said that the Badals had been given a clean chit in the PIL involving transport policy of Punjab.
