KABUL, 02 June 2021, (TON): Adviser to Afghan President on cultural affairs, Shah Hussain Murtazawi, has criticized the visit of the Wolesi Jirga speaker to Pakistan.

He said citing an unconfirmed report of Pakistan severing ties with Afghan National Security Adviser Hamdullah Mohib.

Hamdullah Mohib said that the report that Pakistan had severed ties with him quoted an unknown source and the Pakistani government was not expected to do so un-diplomatically.

Voice of America reported 4 days ago, quoting a diplomatic source as saying that Pakistan’s official contacts with Mohib had been suspended due to his insulting remarks and Islamabad had strongly protested and shared the issue with the Afghan government.

Mohib during a visit in Nangarhar said that Pakistan has nothing to be proud of, Pakistan is expanding its territory in Afghanistan with the support of a power-hungry group.

He further added that the Afghan government had not yet been officially notified and that if the news became official, the Afghan government would respond diplomatically. Cutting off Pakistan’s relationship with us will have little effect because the relationship is not good right now, what can be exemplified to prove a good relationship with Pakistan? Instead of severing ties with us, it is better for Pakistan to cut ties with terrorist groups.

Pakistani authorities have so far not responded to Shah Hussain Murtazawi’s criticism nor there is any official proof that Pakistan has served ties with Afghan National Security Adviser Hamdullah Mohib.
