Environmental activists are bracing for a confrontation with the Government over the Biotechnology Regulatory Authority of India Bill, which is likely to come up before Parliament during the Budget Session. The controversial BRAI Bill has been under scrutiny of various experts, as there has been widespread opposition to the Bill even when it was due to be tabled in the Monsoon Session of Parliament last year. There has been opposition from the National Campaign for People’s Right to Information towards this Bill as it even overrides the Right to Information Act (2005) and bypasses the citizens’ right to know and participate. The Bill has also been opposed by some MPs in the Lok Sabha, and they are likely to ramp up their opposition this time around.
