Stop Minister Chavan from poisoning our food
Bt Brinjal could be back because science and technology minister Prithviraj Chavan is trying to change the rules of the game.
Mr. Chavan pushed for Bt Brinjal in a letter he copied word for word from a study funded by biotech seed companies, including Monsanto. He is presenting an undemocratic GM bill to ease the legalisation of Bt Brinjal, rice, and more—without any public input. Mr. Chavan is supposed to serve the people of India. Instead, he’s serving the interests of biotech seed corporations.
Sign the petition asking the Prime Minister to stop Minister Chavan from poisoning our food. The petition says: “Minister Chavan has betrayed the public trust by doing the dirty work of biotech giants. The Prime Minister should throw out Chavan’s corrupt GM bill.”

Jai Krishnaji, We are very grateful to your invaluable work being carried out in finding out such issues at large!
People like Chavan should be stoned in public for doing such things.

Mr Chavan Why trouble the Indians.
Please stop targeting the Indian in this manner
This is a request from all of us.

It is terrible that government has become shameless and thick skined towards the public .
No To BT Brinjal.
Dear Dr. Manmohan Singh,
It would be apt to evolve a Maha Genetically Modified (MGM) Government, that can be free from the authority of Rascalocrats and Curroptocrats that rule us in our present state-of-the-art maha-hypocritic democracy. Innovations of an
un-mitigated Accountability at the very top of Ministrial Authority, a hefty Bribery Tax, extremely stiff penalty meted out to perpetrators of corruption and generous rewards to honestocrats could be some of the innovations that could only be formulated by an MGM-Government under your vision and leadership, to rid our future generations of a financially insecure life with its inevitable consequences of an impending social disaster.
This would be a far better alternative to alleviate the standard of living of an average Indian, and provide an un-mitigated Social Security to the aam public below the poverty line, than the Bt Brinjal.
Hi, deshvasiyo ke svathya ke sath to kam se kam khilvad na kare, food poisning very khatarnak hai..
stop genetic contamination of food..Mr.Chavan…
So much for the largest damocracy in the world.This is utter shame for mother India.Not only are our Tigers and Lions on the verge of extinction,our rivers and Air polluted and our land now contaminated with this GM poison and now our souls are sold to coparate greed and corruption. MR CHAVAN should be excecuted if he does not follow the will of the Indian people for the mass potential genocide of the Indian peolpe
I strongly file my protest and displeasure at any GM food. we want our children and citizens to have natural food. Don’t play with health of people of my country.

Please stop poisoning our food. Please “save the seeds” for the sake of humanity. Whatever you are doing cannot be undone and the future genrations will never forgive us for this – you for doing it and us for not taking any action when it is being done. India is one of the best country to presive the seeds. Politicions are thinking for their benifits rather than India.

Who is this Chavan anyway – is he a Biotechnologist/ Economist/Agriculturist/Scientist or even someone who helps formulte research on BT engineered food ? And are these the kind of people Dr.Manmohan Singh takes advice from – people who have not the interest of the Indian people at large.
Chitra
Mr Manmohan Singh, how could you tolerate such inhuman people (Mr Chavan), who are so irresponsible & un-accountable and holding such positions in the country. Such people are more ruthless than the external terrorist.
On one hand you along with Mr Nilekani are backing a highly respectable & hopeful project of UID. While on the other hand Mr Chavan ruining the mankind.
This absolutely does not balance the equation of having a democratic country & visionary leaders (so called only).
Please save India & Poor Indians from Indians
Mr.Singh.
HOpe u people(politicians)are well settled and u can can afford a lot of money for ur healh.
But u also there r people in our India who r not even having a single meal for a day.
So u people are like slaves for the M.N.C companies who try to test their products on the poor people in our country.
just think of our people.
they are still suffering because of u people.
so just think of our future and not about the money.
hope ull do soooo.

STOP BT
Hon. Prime Mister,
It is my request to you that there is no dire need of a bill to form National Biosafety Protection Authority only because there is a public outcry on a GM crop. If the crop is realy safe, there can always be a Scientific Report (not the one published by the ‘interested party’) that can be published in National News Papers and a healthy debate on that.
Quenching the public opinions by passing bills that are anti-democratic is not the way.
Please view it in a sincere way.
Thank you.
Sincerely Yours,
Dr. P. G. Kale
Dear Mr. Chavan,
Before allocation of venom on our platter bear in mind that from same serving dish your production will also munch.
But no worry you keep making money from these MNC’s…huh
Best Regards,
Amrin
Have an independent body ( incldinig representative from Greenpeace) investigate and suggest ..
dear minister
before the production of BT brinjal appropriate tests should be taken to prevant the harms by the production of Bt brinjal.
Dear Minister,
why so controversial subject you hang on. we dont need this stupid brinjal. and is not good for public health it is proved. if you do this people definitely think that you are corrupt. please stop your work on this

By now you might have realised what you are doing out of ignorance. Educate your self properly before taking any decision .Keep all the comments in mind and prevent the wrongs to occur.
Instead of promoting GM food, Govt should prevent conversion of agricultural land into residential/commercial land; ensure adequate water for existing crops (thru waster harvesting, river linking etc) and also spread awareness among farmers.
I agrre with the petitioner. This vegetable needs to be stopped from entrying in to indian vegitable market.
when will people in government stop serving vested interests, and start serving the nation ? till, then we have to force them say no to bt brinjal..!
Our so called leaders are playing in to the hands of marketing forces and making policies which are detrimental not only to our national interest but also the destruction on the entire bio diversity.
The greedy politicians, beurocrats and few scienteists have taken the role of distruction. let us unite and save the nature. Lte us save the farmer from his dependency on seeds from marketing forces.
let us join hands in protesting against eveil designs of ministers to get back door for the GM foods .
give time, give hope, to save nation, save nature
is chavan wishing every people of india should become like him?
The present western mode of education, thinking, policy and the administration are constantly eroding our traditional knowledge in Agriculture, health conservation and other areas. It also systematically break our culture and social values
If they open their eyes they know that there is an Indian way of doing science
This is our moto to save the nature and envioronment from any kind of polution,
So, why i protest against Mr. Chowan.
Bt Brinjal can never be as natural as BRINJAL. Please do not wipe out the natural food which is the common natural food for the common public. Love nature and Natural things. Do not Love GM food crops and please do not do anything unfavourable to the entire common public of India just to favour a compnay like Mahyco or Monsanto, for whatever reasons. No reason can be over and above the reason of Common public’s basic right of good and natural food to eat. Please Please Please……… Stop this Bt otherwise we all will repent once it is approved and nothing would remain in our hands then. Come on we all…… join hands and tell the responsible persons that they owe the responsibility towards the common people of India and not towards the company Mahyco or Monsanto or whatever……… STOP Bt, STOP Bt, Stop Bt….
Dear Mr. Minister
When lot of people say “NO” to Bt Brinj….
why should not you re-think on this?
As an Indian, this is my small request.
Dear Minister,
Do not introduce unnatural happenings in natural environment
Let us leave naturaly……. not artificaly….
Scientists should first learn to be humble and recognise the limits of their knowledge and of the implications, potential outcomes and hazards in dealing with inter-connected nature. They have simply no patience to study ecology and the environment but in the anxiety to publish and earn praise from fellow scientists, many paid off by Monsteranto and Cargill, will go to any lengths to claim ’scientific’ status for their fiddling.
As for Brinjal, as rightly pointed out, there is no shortage and no housewife in her right mind or a hotel employee pushes brinjal into a mechanical cutter. Each piece is examined. Moreover, brinjal is classified as a tamasic food and is to be taken in limited quantities as recommended by Indian medical texts as eaten in excess causes pruritis. What is the need to fiddle with this member of a large environmentally widespread plant family with many negative species (for human consumption). This is a classic example of ‘no need’ just ‘greed’. Now we have this foolish law to chain the country to the agro giants. Have any of these scientists contributed anything at all. First they should come out with a statement of grants and fund support for laboratories, equipment, studies and collaborations that they have obtained from the agro giants and then justify their stands with reference to the obvious obligations.
Perhaps Greenpeace can obtain a list of such funding from the main contenders like the Indian branches of these firms, the FCRA in Home Ministry and labs like Mahyco, MS Swaminathan Resch Foundation, the Agricultural Universities, their Professors, etc so that the public takes a knowledgeable view and not some foolish scientists bargaining for quid pro quos as often happens in the Biotech department.
Dear Prime Minister,
Please do not allow Mr. Chavan in pushing this anti-national bill down the throat of the poor citizens of India. He is advocating the interest of Biotech engineers which will only serve the interest of the US and other European nations at the cost of long term economic hazard to be faced by India.
Dear Prime Minister,
Accepting such an antinational bill would be against crores of poor Indians.
Sir, Please don’t cheat the people. Stop this order.
Dear Minister,
Are you really think that it is good for our nation, please come out as responsible citizen of this nation dont cheat you mother land where you born. dont be a ruthless politician.
Dear Sis/ Ministers,
are 100% sure that it is nutritious as well as helpful of our society. If not please dont cheat the nation. stop it……
Dear Dr. Manmohan,
I appeal to your sense of honor and integrity to stop the slow poisoning and genocide. It will not stop with BT Brinjal….Greed and avarice knows no bounds.
Let us leave a legacy which our future generations can be proud of and follow in our footsteps.

Dear Dr. Manmohan Singh,
Genetic food is not at all good fro health for any living being on this planet…Please stop selling the country in the hands of these industries…

Are you really think that it is good for our nation, please come out as responsible citizen of this nation dont cheat you mother land where you are born. You are to serve millions of precious human beings under oath and if you fail then you massacre millions.
Honorable P.M,
I humbly request you to stop Council of Ministers from framing policies ignoring the fundamental rights of common man in favour of MNC and monopoly companies. Now we feel that the Food Minister is going to surrender “the Right to Helthy Food of Common men” in favour of Biothech (Inland and Foreign) companies in the matter of Brinjal.
Hoping to see your strength in protecting the “Birth-Right and Fundamental Right” of each and every Indian as the most powerfull person within the democratic set-up of our country.
Wishng you all the best.
Mr.Minister..pls stop this non sense of BT which is really harmful. If u r so interested pls feed it to ur family but not to anyone else in this country. Whole of India knows the danger fo BT, then y r u behaving so abnormally. Do atleast one favour to your own country by returning back the bribe u got from Monsanto or any other bt company
Goverment should take Dicsion in light of citizen welfare. Any bias and self motivated dicsion should be avoided. Goverment action on any such issuees should be Transparent. Honr. Minister should imply thier broad mindess on this topic.
