All you
need to beat the H1N1 virus is to be Indian
— don't shake hands, greet others with folded hands, says Haryana Health
Minister Anil Vij.
The minister has a solution for non-Hindus too: "The person
folding hands might not say namaste if they feel it is a Hindu greeting.
Instead, one can fold hands and say Wahe Guru or Salaam."
Swine Flu
Swine flu, a type of influenza caused by a new strain of the H1N1 Type A influenza virus has originated from the pigs. Winter always brings along the chills and the flu, make sure you're safe this season.

Now before you dismiss this as just another joke, look where Vij said this — in the State Assembly on Monday. And look who endorsed the statement by raising his hand in support — Chief Minister Manohar Lal Khattar.
"Leave English
culture, adopt Indianness, instead of shaking hands, greet each other with
folded hands," said Anil Vij.
