More GM misery inflicted on India, GEAC allows import of GM food.

May 26, 2006

Dear Jagannath:

When did someone notice that Indian Press and the Media was really the

friend of Indian society and our people.? Media always stays in close

attendance, in lickery service and in league with the vested interests and

the powers that be.

Do we not see the policies that our Governments have adopted since long..?

Two steps, no- now three steps forward and one step backward. This one step

backward is also only when absolutely necessary to hoodwink the nation.

.

By the time public dies, tens of thousands of our farmers commit suicides -six

strides taken forward to quench the greedful pockets of Transnational Companies

and fill the hidden heavens of our leadersahead to feed their masters greed may

just be reversed by one step backward. But I do not see even this one step

backward now.

As per the enclosed report, not only Bt Cotton, Bt Brinjal, Soyabean oil, GM drugs too have been allowed for clinical trials. I am forced to ask, how can we explain this madness? The whole of EU and many other countries including Brazil and Japan have expressed grave concerns over GM produce. America too is divided on the issue with protests from concerned citizen. What has our government done to educate the public over GM food dangers? Why are we stepping in where the angels fear to tread?

WHY IS THE INDIAN PRESS AND MEDIA SILENT ON THIS ISSUE?

Horrified at the developments,

Jagannath.

Despite all the suffering and suicides it has already inflicted via GM

crops, India's GM regulatory body - the GEAC - has just approved the

commercial release of 36 more varieties of transgenic Bt cotton and it is

also considering approving Br brinjals!

Details of all their decisions in their press release below.
