The way the government is going about the whole issue has raised several doubts over its intent. Civil society and some scientists argue that GM Mustard does not have higher yields than the desi non-GM variety. What is significant is that the NDA government has chosen to sideline the four reports which came out against the GM technology in edible crops viz., the Jairam Ramesh Report of February 2010, the ‘Sopory Committee Report’ (August 2012), the ‘Parliamentary Standing Committee’ Report (August 2012), and the ‘Technical Expert Committee Final Report’ (July 2013)
