About Brinjal the report should be read with proper prespective. The reservation for not consuming Brinjal relates to Genetic Brinjal.  Sahu’s comment comes after the Genetic Engineering Approval Committee approved of commercialization of Bt brinjal. “Brinjals are consumed by the common man as well as the poor people. In that case, it is not correct on the part of Genetic Engineering Approval Committee to approve its safety without examining it properly. We are against it,” said Chandrashekhar Sahu. Sahu expressed his concern untill the genetic brinjal is properly examined.

The news is taken from Sindh News paper which is in Pakistan.
