New Delhi: In the 21st Commonwealth Games held in the Gold Coast, Indian players performed well and made 66 medals in their names. Where athletes of Haryana are at the top with 22 medals in medal tally. In these medals, Haryana has named its name 9 gold, 6 silver and 7 bronze medals. Let us tell you that 38 out of 218 Indian players were from Haryana, who were representing India in Australia.

13 players do government jobs

But the Haryana Government has recently taken a step for the medal winners, so the athletes are not happy. Let us know that the Haryana Government has said in a decision that the players who have a government job will be deducted some amount from the price money and then given to the players. Of the 22 players from Haryana, 13 players work in central government organizations like Indian Railways and Indian Army.

Government will deduct cash from the cash price

According to the Haryana Government's policy, the government has given Rs 1.5 crore to the gold winners in the Commonwealth, 75 lakh silver winners and 50 lakh rupees for the bronze winner. But now the state government has said that the players who are in the Army or the Railways get cash price from there also. In such a situation, the amount of money the players get from the institutions will be cut off from the amount given by the state government. Like if the Railways gave 50 lakh rupees to a gold winning player, then the Haryana Government would give him Rs. 1 crore instead of 1.5 crore. Players are against this decision.

Players will boycott the function today

Haryana Government will now honor 22 players who won in Panchkula in National Level Function. At the same time, some players have said that they will boycott the award function unless the government withdraws its decision to cut its zodiac sign. In the list of these players, gold medal winner Vineesh Phogat (women's freestyle), Bajrang Poonia (male freestyle) and Bronze medal winner Manoj Kumar and many other players are also included.

The question is of our respect: Vinesh Phogat

Vineesh Phogat said about price cut in price money, "It is a matter of honor of players and there is no fight for money, if any player is from the Indian Army or Indian Railways, then there is no mistake in it." It is a matter of honor for us to take out money from other players. When we win medal, the Haryana Government is proud of our achievements, even after us. This is what is being played, what is the game of Haryana or the government? If it continues, we will make a boycott in the state level function. "Let us tell you that Vinesh Phogat, in 50 kg women's freestyle wrestling India was awarded gold medal and posted in Delhi as Senior Clerk in the Filhal Railway.

We are being treated twice the way: Bajrang Poonia

Bajrang Poonia, who won the silver medal for India in the 2014 Asian Games, was given full price money at that time. Poonia said that the government is doing wrong with young players. "We respect government's decision. But why this different behavior? The state government had awarded Rio Olympics winner Sakhi Malik with full price money as soon as he reached Delhi. Even so, I got the whole money in 2014. If this continues, then what will be the motivation for the young players. "Let me tell you that Bajrang Punia is working on the post of TT's TT in the Railways.

Yogeshwar Dutt, who holds bronze medal in India at the London Olympics in 2012 and the DSP in the Haryana Police, has also supported the players. It is said that I request the Haryana Government and Sports Minister and they consider their decision.

The matter is beyond understanding: Principal Secretary

Ashok Khemka, the Chief Secretary of the Ministry of Youth Affairs and Sports, said, "According to the previous sports policy, only the price was given to those who have a domicile of Haryana or they played for the state, but this time the scope was increased. has gone. In such a situation, it is inconceivable to take part in the players' reception.
