LAHORE, SEPT. 11. The Harayana Chief Minister, Om Prakash Chautala, seems to have a liking for traditional food. Currently here as a member of a `jatha' (religious congregation) visiting shrines in Pakistan, Mr. Chautala expressed a yearning for `lassi' (butter milk) made at Lahore's famous Anarkali Bazaar.

The Daily Times quoted him as saying he had visited Lahore as a child and still remembered the "sweet and tasty lassi of Anarkali." Mr. Chautala, who is accompanying 45 other members, said he felt like he was among his own people in Lahore, adding that he had last seen the city in 1943. He said his uncle was a member of the unified Punjab Legislative Assembly in 1935.

Four state ministers — the Revenue Minister, Sanpat Singh, the Transport Minister, Ashok Kumar, the Agriculture Minister, Jasinder Singh and the Health Minister, Muhamamd Illays, are accompaning Mr. Chautala. Music legend Pandit Jasraj and his daughter, Durga Jasraj, are also part of the delegation. — ANI
