New Delhi: More support is now pouring in for the Dera Sacha Sauda sports village and academy in Sirsa district of Haryana. Union Sports Minister Vijay Goel is now backing the Dera sports village.
Haryana Minister Anil Vij had sparked a controversy by donating Rs 50 lakh to a sports stadium belonging to Dera Sacha Sauda chief Ram Rahim from his MLA fund.
Vij has recently returned from Rio de Janeiro after watching the Olympics.
"It is a very good thing. Along with religion, education and games are there, that means they are trying to prepare a complete human being," Vij said.
"He is encouraging the games. Since the schools are also encouraging games here, I would like to donate Rs 50 lakh from my discretionary fund," Vij said.
Notably, all the games played at the Dera academy have been created by Gurmeet Ram Rahim himself and are not played at national or international level.
Another Haryana Minister Manish Grover has announced Rs 11 lakh to the Dera sports village.
