Brouhaha over Bt brinjal nothing but political according to U.S. scientist
Globally renowned social scientist, Ronald Herring, who is acclaimed the world over for his extensive and enlightening study on agriculture in South Asian countries including India, termed the brouhaha over Bt brinjal as nothing less than a political ‘tamasha’ and vehemently urged the stakeholders to respond more compassionately to the needs for food security in the country.
