The Sports Ministry has sent its response to the Law Ministry's first proposed draft to combat corruption in sports, to its Minister Jitendra Singh.
"We have drafted our response (to the law ministry's first proposed draft) and it has been sent to the Sports Minister. Unless the minister signs it, we can't reveal much about what recommendations have been made," said a ministry official today.
Law ministry sources, meanwhile, said that the draft has covered all inter-state and international tournaments but has not made any specific mention about club level tournaments like the Indian Premier League or football's I-League, which are franchise-based tournaments.
It said that the idea was to cover all sporting events and not to mention any particular game or tournaments.
Yesterday, the Sports Ministry had said that it was far from satisfied with the first draft of the proposed law sent to it by the Law Ministry and insisted that it intended to carry out "extensive modification" to the contents of the draft.
