"Our policy is to extend support to those who fight evils in the society and those who do good things to people," Rahim Singh told a press conference here.
BJP approached the Dera and signed an affidavit that the party would fight against drug and liquor addiction, corruption and other bad things in the society, he said, "So we extended support to them."
Singh also termed as 100 per cent false the report that his controversial film "MSG: The Messenger of God" was cleared by Film Certification Appellate Tribunal (FCAT) as Sauda had offered support to BJP.
It was a film against drug menace and no religion in it, said Singh, who has acted and directed the controversial movie. The film will be released across the country on February 13.

On MSG, he said, "It is a film to create awareness about use of drug and other social evils. Those who oppose the movie were doing so without knowing what was in the film."
"Once they see the film, they will change their mind," Singh said when asked the opposition to the movie by certain outfits including Akali Dal in Punjab.
The Harayana High court had cleared the film and now it would be released, he said.
The film had run into a row last month after the Censor Board Chief Leela Samson resigned, apparently protesting the clearance given to the film by FCAT "overlooking" the censor Board.
