These People should learn some basic understanding like Plausible deniability when it comes to national security but they are continue defaming India on foreign soil. Atleast they should learn from Indira Gandhi
Plausible deniability is a strategy used by governments, intelligence agencies, or organizations to allow leaders or higher authorities to deny responsibility for any unlawful or covert activities carried out under their direction, usually by lower-level operatives. This concept is often applied in sensitive or covert operations where direct acknowledgment of involvement could have serious political, legal, or diplomatic consequences.

What is Digital Biopiracy?🧬🧪🧫
Definition: Digital biopiracy
involves using digital technologies, such as sequence databases, to exploit genetic resources without adhering to prior informed consent (PIC) and benefit-sharing norms.
Monopolization: It allows
organizations to monopolize research and development (R&D) outcomes through intellectual property (IP) rights, bypassing ethical standards set by the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD).
Digital Sequence Information (DSI): DSI consists of
genetic sequence data derived from DNA or RNA of various organisms, which can be used for research and product development without needing access to the physical materials.
Synthetic Biology Impact:
Advances in synthetic biology enable the use of DSI for creating products like vaccines and therapeutics, often without consent from the original resource providers.
Concentration of Control:
Major DSI databases are predominantly controlled by developed countries, limiting developing nations' ability to benefit from their own genetic resources.
Risks: The misuse of DSI
poses risks such as bioterrorism and undermines national sovereignty over genetic resources, as databases often lack accountability and verification of compliance with PIC norms.
