Prez hosts dinner for Union ministers and opposition leaders

The aroma of delicious mughlai and vegetarian dishes filled the air inside Rashtrapati Bhavan tonight during the dinner hosted by president Pratibha Patil for new council of ministers and leaders of opposition.
    
The delicacies prepared by women chefs of Indian Tourism Development Corporation ranged from mughlai dishes such as Jehangiri Kebabs to Chicken Kofta and Aloo Gobhi among others.

The power packed evening was attended by all ministers of the council and leader of opposition in Rajya Sabha Arun Jaitley but Lok Sabha Opposition leader LK Advani missed the event.
    
The dinner, which started soon after the proceedings of both the Houses got over today, saw leaders trying to unwind themselves from the gruelling discussions which continued throughout the day.
    
"The dinner was attended by all Council of Ministers and Rajya Sabha Opposition leader Arun Jaitley," a Rashtrapati spokesperson said.
