Protest Bt Brinjal

Those in favour of BT brinjal say, the use of pesticides and costs will go down and the yield will increase and with it will increase the incomes of the farmers. But the protesters are arguing that Bt brinjal has a gene added to it that makes it poisonous for pests and it may harm humans as well.

Greeted with protests in Bangalore over the Bt Brinjal, Environment Minister Jairam Ramesh lost his cool and called one of the protesters a mental patient asking him to leave.

Amid repeated pro and anti protests, Jairam Ramesh says he won't be swayed by either side, when he decides whether or not India will grow and eat Bt brinjal.
