2017 Aug 5 - GM Mustard - Yes or No? Join this interactive Discussion

GM Mustard - Yes or No?  Join this interactive Discussion.

If you are in South Bengaluru today, please attend with family and friends, and please share and invite others!

What are the implications of GM Mustard?  Will it open the floodgates to other GM crops?  Will it contaminate our environment beyond reversal?

Come with all your questions!

Are you aware that the GM Mustard variety being proposed by the Delhi University is Herbicide Tolerant?  That directly translates to use of more poison in the soil, and eventually, more poisoned food for us?

Do we pay taxes to our Govt to run Universities that will eventually poison us?  

What is the Govt's stand on this?  How informed is the Govt really?  How transparent has the process of approval by GEAC been so far?  Are they running an ulterior agenda by hiding the real facts?  Does the Govt know they are going to poison their own citizens by the introduction of GMOs?

What damage will the introduction of GM crops cause to the rest of the Ecosystem?  Is the damage reversible, or will we be doomed forever?

If these questions do bother you, there is no way you could miss the talk!  Come engage with Sudha Nagavarapu.
