Federation of the Karnataka Virginia Tobacco Growers’ Association on Saturday challenged the representatives of anti-tobacco groups and NGOs for a public debate with its members either in Mysuru or elsewhere on the issue of limiting tobacco production. “We invite them for a detailed debate. Let them put forward their arguments and we will do the same from our side. Instead of coming up with impractical suggestions and spreading misleading campaigns, they must understand the facts and listen to the growers’ perspectives before coming up with solutions,” said association president B.V. Javare Gowda.
