ISLAMABAD: President Mamnoon Hussain Wednesday sent a gift of ‘Gajar Ka Halwa’ to Leader of the Opposition in the National Assembly Syed Khursheed Shah.

“I am thankful to him to send me a gift of Gajar ka Halwa and it was an honour for me as he had sent such a tasty gift,” he said while talking to newsmen at his Chamber at the Parliament House on Wednesday.

Khursheed Shah, who was delighted at receiving the gift, said he had old relations with the president as we spent a jail days together. “President Mamnoon Hissain was a very good host and even in jail he hosted the dishes which he himself cooked,” he said.

He said that the president was very good in cooking and cooked delicious dishes in the jail also. “Though I am also good at cooking but not able to cook Biryani like President Mamnoon Hussain. He cooked very tasty and I never tasted such a Biryani in my life,” he said.
