Your Message: I think that the Environment Minister has done the right thing in this matter. The haste with which BT Brinjal was given permission to be introduced by a government body has created doubts in the mind of the people that something fishy is going on. Without doing a proper scientific study on the long term effect this GM food on living organisms, the producer company wanted to use India as a guinea pig for testing its product. Due to the wide spread protests against this move from all sections of society and scientists, the government has now taken a correct decision. Let there be more scientific research and with better evidence of harmlessness, the BT Brinjal may be introduced late
