Pardon me, PPP, your slip is showing

Mar 11, 2014 Letters

DEAR EDITOR,
Do the PPP/C Party and Government know that there is such a thing as protocol?  Could you please use your good newspaper to advise them that not every event is one which sees the functionaries being garlanded?
A memorial service, a funeral is a solemn event, one where we pay respects to the dead.  We reminisce on their lives, their struggles, their contributions to nation etc.  It is about them, not us. Therefore the garlanding is out of order and the wearers look as foolish as the adorners.
Let us try to emulate appropriate behaviour patterns.  By the way, does the Protocol division still exist?  If so, it seems their advice is honoured more in the breach, than in the observance.
