With the deadline of submitting comments of stakeholders on genetically modified mustard to the central biotech regulator coming to an end on Wednesday, both anti- and pro-GM groups have stepped up their efforts to bring finer points of their respective arguments in public domain.
Ranging from holding 'Sarson Satyagraha' to round table conference in different parts of the country, the anti-GM groups have not only made lot of noise against transgenic variety of mustard but also brought molecular scientists into scene to articulate their points about hazards of genetically engineered crops - refreshing the memory of their protests against Bt brinjal held seven years ago.
