The Jammu and Kashmir government today hit back at Army chief Gen. Bipin Rawat over his remark that government schools in the state are spreading a 'disinformation campaign' which is radicalising the youth, saying the Army's 'meddling' in the state's affairs was unacceptable.

Addressing a press conference yesterday, Rawat said each classroom in government schools in Jammu and Kashmir has a separate map of the state besides that of India which sowed the seeds of thought of some kind of 'separate identity' among the children.

'I do not know what the Army chief has said or how he said it, but what I know is that our children are not going towards radicalisation,' Minister for Education Syed Altaf Bukhari told reporters here..
