Post elections, Foreign Minister Shah Mehmood Qureshi has been a busy man, as its been, to put it mildly, a turbulent year for Pakistan.
From defending Pakistan from critics at home and abroad in the face of increasing violence, terrorism and then the Mumbai attack, Shah Mehmood Qureshi has managed to survive this year without having his portfolio changed and without having to retract any statements.
Despite being the gadda nasheen of a Pir in Multan, Shah Mehmood Qureshi manages to look quite dashing in his well-fitted suits and his sedate ties. While he may be all talk and no action, the English language rolls off his tongue without any visible faux pax. In a time when politics seems to rely more on well-worded statements and diplomacy, Shah Mehmood Qureshi manages to remain on top of his game.

He even managed to keep his cool when being made the centre of every Indian anchorperson's focus when the Mumbai attacks took place and he was present in the country. And if one believes a local fortnightly's gossip section, he's even being tipped as the replacement for the current Prime Minister. So, for managing to look suave and not making any embarrassing or bumbling statements, Shah Mehmood Qureshi is our Hotstepper of the Week!
