The RSS-affiliated Swadeshi Jagran Manch (SJM) on Friday accused the Genetic Engineering Appraisal Committee (GEAC) of functioning in an “irresponsible fashion” and opposed its recommendation for the environmental release of Genetically Modified (GM) mustard, calling it “dangerous”.
In a letter to Union Environment Minister Bhupender Yadav, it urged the Centre to ensure that the crop’s seed is not allowed to be planted “now or ever”.
