Appeal of Dr M S Narwal, a Senior Indian Agricultural Scientist, who is

President of Teachers' Association of CCS Haryana Agricultural
University, Hisar, Haryana, India
"I appeal to all agricultural scientists of the world to kindly help
farmers in coming out of vicious circle of dangerous genetically
modified (GM) crops like BT Cotton because reports have been coming for
last about 10 years which say these crops are harmful for humans,
animals, ecology and environment alike and manufacturers and promoters
of these globally controversial GM crops have not been able to counter
these reports and findings yet".
