Greenpeace India launches campaign to protest against Bt Brinjal

Hoping to persuade Environment Minister Jairam Ramesh against allowing the production of genetically modified (GM) Bt Brinjal in India, climate NGO Greenpeace has launched an online campaign, ’World’s Biggest Baingan Bhartha’ and are collecting people’s signatures against the government’s plan. Demanding that the government reverse its decision, farmers, scientists and NGOs have staged angry demonstrations and disrupted public hearings organised by the environment ministry on the issue in the past few days.
