New Delhi: Children in Jammu and Kashmir are nationalists but sometimes they are guided in the wrong manner. Sometimes people don't motivate them in the correct manner, they guide them in the wrong direction.

Those who motivate them in the wrong direction should be held responsible and not the children or youth', Defence Minister Rajnath Singh said on Wednesday.

On being asked that people living on India-China border areas often complain that China's PLA troubles them, Singh said, 'As far as our borders are concerned, place your trust in armed forces of our country. No country has the courage to raise their eyes towards India.'

He further said that Chief of Defence Staff General Bipin Rawat has placed the need to start deradicalisation programmes for youth in J&K.
