In an unexpected turn of events, the United States has deported the Pakistani ambassador, causing worries about the rising political tension between the two countries. The surprising decision of the authorities has urged several people to ask for the reasons for their exclusion and the possible consequences on the two nations’ relations
Pakistani Ambassador: US Leading to Diplomacy in International Relations
Insiders have informed the U.S. that the “diplomatic protocol violations” were behind the ambassador’s dismissal cited by the U.S. government as the main cause. The officials in Pakistan have, however, declared themselves innocent of any wrongdoing and said the decision was “unjustified and politically motivated.” Pakistani Foreign Ministry has demanded a clear and documented reason from Washington, noting that “diplomatic dialogue, rather than sudden actions, must be sought” as the way forward.
The matter has given rise to hot discussion among political analysts. On one hand, some analysts speculate that the deportation may be due to rising world politics or simply some undisclosed security issues. On the other hand, others contend that the deportation may rotate about a global power struggle that is bleeding out US-Pakistan relations.
Through social media, several reactions have come from both Pakistani and untold international users. There are many who are extremely unhappy with America for what they believe is a proudly foul action unto the sovereignty of Pakistan, while other people show a demand for both countries to be open when it comes to dealing with these issues.
At present, not a single word has come out of the US State Department in relation to the specifics of the deportation. The punishment, Pakistan is reportedly deciding on, ranges from compulsory attendance at the US embassy in Islamabad to questioning the U.S. ambassador about the negative incident.
The future of US-Pakistan relations is now uncertain as can be seen in this diplomatic conflict. We don’t yet know if this is a temporary block or the start of a bigger problem.
