Save your food - Stop the BRAI Bill

Save your food - Stop the BRAI Bill

The Biotechnology Regulatory Authority of India (BRAI) bill can be tabled anytime in this monsoon session of the Parliament. The bill will form a body which will single-handedly clear cultivation of GM crops in the country.

By being secretive, the government is only creating more suspicionabout the intention of the bill. Public opposition made the Karnataka government ban field trials of GM crops in the state recently. Now we need to get the national government to stop this bill.

You should ask Prime Minister Manmohan Singh to stop this bill.
