Farmers' body calls for commercialising GM mustard
A consortium of seven farmer organisations, Rashtriya Progressive Kisan Association, has written to PM Narendra Modi demanding the commercialisation of genetically modified (GM) mustard at the earliest. The "ongoing polarisation" around GM Mustard hurts the farm economy and takes away a farmer's right to choose technologies best suited to him, the association's CEO Hari Singh Yadav said.
