This is apropos a Business Recorder editorial "A befitting response" carried by the newspaper on Friday. The newspaper has concluded its argument by saying that, "the prime minister seems to have been clearly irked by the Lahore High Court verdict. His outburst was uncalled for and unworthy of the high office that he occupies. As a prime minister, he is expected to lend sobriety and decorum to the otherwise charged political milieu obtaining in today's Pakistan."

Unfortunately, however, the prime minister again targeted Nawaz Sharif, expressing his doubts over the criticality of the former prime minister's health condition. The PML-N has reacted to his remarks by describing the prime minister as a person who is suffering from "some mental health disorders". What's going on?
