'A loose cannon supreme leader'

This is apropos a Business Recorder op-ed "A loose cannon supreme leader" carried by the newspaper yesterday. The writer has highlighted a very important point in relation to the Mumbai attacks. According to her, "Nawaz Sharif is under oath not to make public any state secrets to which he became privy as the prime minister. The issue at hand is not about patriotism but about responsible conduct by a holder of the nation's highest office. If his claim is valid, he should have taken a stand inside the relevant forum, the NSC. But during his four years at the helm he did not bother to call even regular meetings of the committee."
Nawaz Sharif, in my view, has embarked on political suicidal path; his outbursts against the military establishment and the higher judiciary threaten the political future of his brother Shahbaz Sharif who has recently replaced him as party head. In other words, Nawaz Sharif's conduct is not guided by political ethics. He has unnecessary sought to cause damage to state's narrative vis-a-vis the Mumbai attacks.
