He said dealing with the education sector should be left to those who were assigned the responsibility to do so. Addressing a press conference in New Delhi on Friday, ahead of the Army Day, General Rawat said the education system in Jammu and Kashmir needed to be overhauled to check radicalisation, and also called for checks on madrasas and mosques. \u201cWhy do we need a separate map for J&amp;K? What does it teach the children? Most misguided youth come from schools where they are being radicalised,\u201d he had said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>SRINAGAR, Jan 14 (TNS): Jammu and Kashmir Education Minister Syed Altaf Bukhari said on Saturday that the army should concentrate on its own job and not meddle with the state\u2019s education system.
