Say 'maskar'

Chandigarh, March 10: A Harya minister on Tuesday asked people not to shake hands but adopt Indianness and greet people with a 'maskar' to avoid getting infected with swine flu. Expressing concern over swine flu cases in the state, Harya's Health Minister Anil Vij told the state assembly on Tuesday: "Angreziat ko chhodo, bhartiyata ko apo. Hath milane ki bajaye hath jod kar abhivadan karo (shun foreign culture, adopt our own culture and instead of hand-shake, greet each other with folded hands)."
