Statement from an interviewee expressing concern over his views quoted in the documentary

This is to express my concern and displeasure about the way I have been quoted in the documentary ` `Seeds of Debt`  and other news reports published on the documentary by Danwatch. The news item `Sources stand by their story despite Syngenta  disclaim` published on 16th Jan 2014 states that  I have confirmed my views expressed in the documentary to Danwatch.  THIS IS NOT TRUE. ..The observations I have made with regard to activities of company agents and local money lending practices are very general in nature and not specific to any crop, person or company.  The documentary uses my quotes in out of context attributing them to specific crop and company.  Our organization has been working on farmers issues since last three decades. The documentary portrays extreme form of farmer’s distress situation which is not applicable to corn seed growers in the region.  Our region has witnessed large number of farmer suicides but they are from commercial cotton and chilly growers and not from corn seed farmers.
