Greenpeace India questions ICAR move to conduct GE Brinjal field trials

Highlighting the imminent threat of genetically engineered food crops making its run through India’s food chain, Greenpeace today slammed the Indian Council of Agricultural Research (ICAR) for its scruffy act in collaborating in the large scale field trials of GE brinjal. Making a dig at babus and their political bosses, who have thrown all cautions to wind by allowing large scale field trials of GE food crops, Greenpeace activists, dressed like politicians were seen at Krishi Bhawan force-feeding genetically engineered brinjal to common men, who remain largely unaware about the dangerous implications of genetically modified food.
