Patna's Senior Superintendent of Police (SSP) Manavjit Singh Dhillon issued a clarification after his comments regarding the training of the Popular Front of India (PFI) and that of the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) shakhas sparked a massive outrage. Manavjit Singh Dhillon on Friday said this was a 'selective misinterpretation' and he had no intention of comparing the training of PFI and RSS.

Patna SSP Manavjit Singh Dhillon had said, "The organization worked at Masjids and Madrassas to mobilize youths and worked to radicalize them. The modus operandi was similar to that of RSS shakhas. They train the youth under the guise of physical education and spread their agenda. We got documents of camps teaching martial arts and training members to use sticks and swords under the guise of physical training. The document was being used to radicalize, brain wash and mobilize people."
