Pakistan Slams Afghan National Security Chief, Accuses Him of Spoiling Peace Process 

ISLAMABAD - Pakistan’s top diplomat on Saturday publicly stated for the first time that his ministry had severed ties with Afghanistan’s national security adviser, Hamdullah Mohib, over incendiary remarks about its southern neighbor that undermined regional peace efforts.

Shah Mehmood Qureshi made the disclosure a week after a highly placed Pakistani official told VOA that Islamabad had conveyed to Kabul “through informal channels” it would no longer conduct official engagements with Mohib. Mohib routinely accuses Pakistan, particularly its military, of supporting the Taliban insurgency in his country, charges Islamabad rejects.
