BJP Demands Action Against Bihar IPS Officer for Comparing PFI to RSS

NEW DELHI – BJP leaders have sought immediate action against a senior Indian Police Service (IPS) official, Manavjeet Singh Dhillon for comparing the Popular Front of India (PFI) with Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS).

Dhillion, a 2009 batch IPS officer, compared the PFI to the RSS while addressing the media shortly after the police claimed to have busted a “potential terror module indulging in anti-India activities” by arresting two people, including a retired Jharkhand police officer, with alleged links to PFI.

“The arrested accused were mobilising the people from madarsas and driving them towards fanaticism. Their modus operandi was almost similar to that of the RSS. Just as the RSS has been organising training camps, they have been training the youths and brainwashing them through their propaganda,” the SSP told the media today.

Dhillon’s remarks have triggered strong protests from the BJP which sought for his immediate sacking.

“The SSP has become mentally bankrupt and crossed the limit of decency through his remarks. If he can’t differentiate between the RSS which an organization engaged in nation building and a terrorist organisation, then he doesn’t deserve to continue on his post even for a second,” BJP spokesperson Manoj Sharma said adding his further continuance could create the law and order problem across the state.

He asked the chief minister to take cognizance of this remark and sack him without any further delay.

Another BJP spokesperson and party’s BJP OBC Morcha’s National General Secretary, Nikhil Anand, termed the statement as “shameful and highly condemnable”. Anand asked the official to apologise for his act.

Meanwhile, the additional director general of police JS Gangwar is learnt to have served show-cause notice to the Patna SSP.
