Mr Jalali, a 63-year-old former journalist, has been popular with western governments since his appointment in January 2003, although there was disappointment he failed to push through reforms of the police and provincial administrations.
Mr Jalali's concerns were echoed in June by the counter-drugs minister, Habibullah Qaderi, who said some provincial governors and police chiefs were suspected of involvement in the drugs trade but none had been investigated because of "lack of evidence".
"Jalali wanted to bring some reform in the interior ministry, such as changing the governors, but they didn't help him, they didn't let him, and he became demoralised," said Mr Ranjbar, who is the leader of a liberal political party.
