Gene manipulation takes time to show up in all it's possibilities. A test lasting a decade is probably inadequate to check the impact over generations of human beings.
Also it is important that people be made aware of the nature of the product. Something seriously impractical in India because there still are illiterate millions among us.
As PM, I would consider this issue as a non priority . There doesn't seem to be a need to get gene manipulated food stuffs when we haven't utilised our complete food growing potential. Once we have efficiently used all natural possiblilities and find it inadequate, we can think of introducing foreign genetic material into food stuffs. The time till then can be used for more extensive testing.
