    "content": "What we expect is a report from our scientists. We need the National Biosafety Authority (NBA) to speak and say something. It is really not about causing fear, as Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale has said. What we are saying is that we all fear and therefore, there is need to be safe from what we consume. There is need to increase research fund in this country. It is important that we allow our scientists, to distinguish between myths and facts about GMOs. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, what is modification? It is all about removing a gene and adding another one. The question that I was waiting for Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale to ask is: Where is the source of this gene that was introduced to the food crops that we have? I have no problem with Bt cotton. It is very important that we distinguish what we want from that which we can reject. Bt cotton is very important and good. Army worms do not attack that type of cotton and therefore, we can use it. Another reason is that we are already wearing clothes made from Bt cotton. However, for food consumption, we need to be very sure that we are consuming food that does not have any harmful organism in it."
