Should I laugh or lament or both?
I am going to comment upon the web site of some of our foreign missions where we have either Ambassador or High Commissioner but there is no guiding principle as to what pre fix be used with the name of the one who flies our national flag in the country. At some places I noted that we are using H.E. and then name; at other places I found H.E. & Mr. and then name while at third place it was just Mr. and his name. It is really criminal that at one place our ambassador is without any salutation but wait as you go down you will see him otherwise you will never ever believe me that it could be so..What does that mean? None knows how to write? Did we leave it the discretion of the computer operator? What about Ambassador or High Commissioner himself? It should not be forgotten that though it is purely Pakistan embassy or high commission but nevertheless many nationals of so many countries must be visiting these sites for one reason or the other and I am pretty sure that all those who noted like me must have jeered at us.
I will be very specific about our few missions and I am awfully ashamed to see such follies which are neither blunders nor mistakes to be honest for the very simple reason that such like inconsistency is earning blot for us though we should earn laurels instead.

H.E. Mr. Jalil Abbas Jillani is our Ambassador and his name is written like this but when it comes to his resume I found that H. E. is gone and it reads as Mr. Jalil Abbas Jillani. Very much surprisingly his photo is not at the site whereas each and every site has a photo of the mission but he is not here is itself a burning question.
The site has mentioned the names of all those who had been our ambassadors since 1952 and it is really very commendable effort let us know who had been there and when and I have not see such list on sites of other missions except a few which I am yet to see. However, the list shows 17 ambassadors and each ambassador’s name is prefixed by H. E. Mr. except serial 15 which says H.E. Tariq A .R. Fatemi but why and how? Did we grace our ambassador or disgrace? I leave it to your fair judgment to side me or be against me. Incidentally, our incumbent ambassador before being posted here was none but Spokesman for the Foreign Ministry so who can be better than him so far as usage of salutation is concerned.

Someone must not only be terminated but jailed too for not writing any prefix whatsoever though the simplest courtesy demands that Mr. must be written in any case. Moreover none even bothered to write with his name that he is our ambassador.

I am not asking anyone to garland me but nevertheless I must not be beaten on this account in any case because I have just copied them from the web site and wrote my very candid opinion about what I have found out. I have done my job and now your turn to do the needful so that none mocks at us.
