At the same time, Union Women and Child Welfare Minister Maneka Gandhi had also expressed her opposition to this a long time ago. Yes, he had also written a letter to the Health Ministry regarding this, in which it was said that instead of gelatin, capsule covers should be prepared from the bark or juice of plants. It's called Cellulose! At the same time, he had also said that religious sentiments of people will not be hurt by this. The bark and sap of plants can easily be converted into cellulose through chemical processes.
Maneka had said that many vegetarians who know the truth about the capsule, refrain from taking it despite their illness. A few days ago, some people of Jain religion had met Union Health Minister JP Nadda. During this, he had said that capsules made of gelatin should be banned. However, now it is said that the exercise to change its manufacturing material has also intensified and new methods are being discovered for this.
