Protest and protectBy: Ishteyaque | Monday , 24 Nov '08 9:58:05 AM Reply | Forward GM Bringal should be banned in India and all over the world right now.

Indians have protested and stopped indigo cultivation being promoted by Britishers. Today, we have the responsibility to defeat the criminal plans of corporates, GEAC and the government combine. The Supreme Court of India has asked for monitored and restricted experiments of BT crops, how come MAHYCO is planning to market seeds of GM Bringal.

DOWN WITH GMOs. DOWN WITH MAHYCO-MONSANTO. DOWN WITH CAPITALISM!
