Pakistan has faced significant embarrassment on the international stage after the United States reportedly denied entry to Pakistan’s ambassador to Turkmenistan, KK Ehsan Wagan. Despite holding a valid visa and all necessary travel documents, Wagan was sent back from Los Angeles Airport by US immigration authorities.
US Immigration Stops Ambassador
According to media reports, Ambassador KK Ehsan Wagan had traveled to the US for a holiday. Upon arrival at Los Angeles Airport, immigration officials stopped him, raising objections regarding his entry. Despite having legally required documentation, he was deported and sent back to Pakistan.
Neither the US government nor Pakistan’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs has issued any official statement explaining the reasons behind this action. However, some reports suggest that the deportation may be linked to controversial visa references.
Pakistan’s Official Response
According to a report by India Today, Pakistan’s Foreign Ministry confirmed the deportation of Ambassador KK Wagan. The ministry stated, “An immigration objection was lodged against Ambassador Wagan, leading to his deportation from the United States.”
Both Pakistan’s Foreign Minister Ishaq Dar and Foreign Secretary Amina Baloch have been informed about the incident. In response, Pakistan’s Foreign Ministry has directed its Los Angeles Consulate to investigate the matter thoroughly.
Who is KK Ehsan Wagan?
KK Ehsan Wagan is an experienced diplomat who has held several key positions in Pakistan’s Foreign Service. He previously served as the Consul General at the Pakistan Consulate in Los Angeles.
Reports suggest that Wagan may soon return to Islamabad to provide detailed information about the incident. So far, he has not made any official statement regarding his deportation.
