Unless there is a plan to sell golden rice in first world markets without a label, I don't see how the anti-GMO movement effects the production of a product intended for a third world market. The majority of food consumed world wide isn't censored by anything or anybody in the West.
If they feel like development is being slowed by this movement, as they state in the blog, the problems they face can be overcome through transparency in the production and make up of the product, and it's intended customer base. If golden rice in only to be sold in India, and their motives are as pure as they exclaim, then they should spearhead a ban of the product in the West until proper labeling is introduced, in order to overcome the obstacle.
There are ways around this that they are purposefully not addressing.
Continued shadiness, creating mistrust. Using dying kids as a shield.
