Sri Sri Ravishankar set off a controversy by claiming government schools are breeding grounds for Naxalism and his comments were condemned by educationists and ministers today as "unfortunate and illogical."
Union Human Resources Development Minister Kapil Sibal expressed surprise at the remarks and posed a question as to whether people in high positions in all walks of life who have studied in government schools are Naxals.
