Chief Minister V.S. Achuthanandan has asked the Centre to reconsider allowing ‘widespread use’ of genetically modified seeds. In a letter sent to the Prime Minister on Thursday, he wanted a moratorium to be declared on such seeds for half a century to evaluate the dangers posed by them. He said Kerala had even earlier conveyed to the Centre its stance on genetically modified seeds and food items. It was against allowing the cultivation of those seeds even on experimental basis.
