Sir Sikander, 1940
 
     
 

"He was a very effective Premier of the Punjab. Another aspect I will just tell you. I remember he had a tea garden in Kangra [hill district in the Punjab], which is now on the Indian side. This belonged to his family. He took us, me and one or two others with him, and we spent two three evenings there together. Now this kind of thing one could not expect from Sir Fazli Hussain. Similarly, one day he said, well, let's have a cooking party, and myself and the Nawab of Mamdot, Ahmad Yar Khan Daultana, somebody else, five, six or so [got together]. Someone was peeling the onions and someone was doing this, and he sat on the charcoal sigris as they were called and dinner was cooked by all of us."
