BT Brinjal is a genetically-modified vegetable which is infused with Cry1Ac gene from bacterium Bacillus thuringiensis to make the plant resistant to the fruit and shoot borers and certain pests.
Some scientists have been opposing it, arguing that the genes were toxic and would affect the health of the consumers.
Jairam Ramesh has also refused to give permission for Athirapilly Hydro-electric project. It's very evident that the total ecosystem will be deluged once the project comes up. Those who have been to this wonderful natural water-fall will never support this project. Last day he made one comment that, Athirapilly should be considered with same seriousness as that of Silent Valley. It's utter shameful and disgusting that Kerala Electricity Minister A.K.Balan commented on this decision as "decision without knowing things".
