| I keep my fingers crossed: Chidambram | | Omar awarded Gen-X politician of the year | | Early Times Report
Jammu, Jan 21: For taking that big political leap –for family, the party and the generation, the Chief Minister Omar Abdullah has been awarded as Generation Next Politician of the Year by a leading television channel.
At a star-studded ceremony, televised live, in New Delhi, television news channel NDTV gave away the Indian of the Year awards to the people who made their mark in various fields this year, be it politics, sport, entertainment, business, arts and culture and so on.
While Jammu Kashmir Chief Minister Omar Abdullah won the Generation Next Politician of the Year award, Olympic gold medal winner Abhinav Bindra won the NDTV's Sportsman of the Year award.
Slumdog Millionaire, which won the accolades the world over for narrating an Indian boy's rags to riches journey, won the NDTV Award for Global Excellence. The film has also won several Golden Globe Awards.
Apart from that, Deepak Parekh won the Business Leader of the Year award at the ceremony and actor Aamir Khan was named the Entertainer of the Year.
Speaking on the occasion Home Minister P Chidambaram said on Wednesday that Pakistan has taken some action but it is not satisfactory.
He also said terror can not be defeated by non-violence in these times. The Home Minister, who has a mammoth task ahead of him, said that in the 150 days left for his government, he will act with speed and determination.
"They have done nothing so far that can be termed as satisfactory, but given their position on January 4 and given their position today, I think there is significant movement forward."
"I keep my fingers crossed. We will have to wait and see and we should be prepared for any eventuality," Chidambaram said.
His statement comes in the wake of Pakistan's Foreign Minister Shah Mahmood Qureshi's acknowledgment of the 26/11 evidence provided by India as 'good'.
Qureshi had said that Pakistan has reportedly formed a three-member counter-terror team to probe the Mumbai attack. He had also said that the probe team has been directed to submit its preliminary findings within 10 days.
Qureshi had called for pursuing an approach of "cooperative engagement" to deal with any further questions that may arise with regard to the Mumbai incident.
The Pakistani foreign minister had also said, "If any individual or entity linked to Pakistan is found involved in the Mumbai attacks, the government will take action against them according to the country's law."
