Misquoted in the documentary, claims interviewee Gandhi Babu

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. No one contacted me to confirm or reconfirm  my views. Mr Karthik has called once to inform about the release of documentary...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.
