‘Arecanut will be declared safe for consumption’
Bharatiya Janata Party president Rajnath Singh has said the party will take initiatives to address problems faced by arecanut growers if it comes to power at the Centre.
He was addressing a convention of booth-level party workers here on Wednesday.
Mr. Singh said that the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare’s direction to the Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI) to examine the scientific evidence regarding the harmful effects of arecanut had created apprehension among growers.
He said that various research works had proved that consumption of arecanut was not injurious to health. If the BJP came to power, it would protect the interests of arecanut growers by declaring that consumption of arecanut was not injurious to health, he said.
