Though it was Pakistan that saved Afghanistan from Soviet Union, India is looked at more favourably than Pakistan by Afghan government. So while India is extolled for the services it renders in national reconstruction in Afghanistan, Pakistan is increasingly falling under the ire of Afghan leaders despite losing 1000+ soldiers in fighting Afghanistan's war in Pakistan.
Afghanistan and India are both hostile countries for Pakistan. Any warmth in their relations would be taken seriously by Pakistan. Pakistan can not allow India to have the 'strategic depth' it acquired in the 1990s in Afghanistan.
