You also need to consider back channel activity going on. US being main interlocutor for its self interest. US needs Pakistan badly for Afghanistan presence and fight against terror. If Pakistan shift its attention to east, US will not able to survive in Afghanistan without prohibitive cost and its Central Asian entrance will be in jeopardy. At the same time US wants to exploit indian arms bazar and tarde and for namesake wants india as a China containment partner. US can not afford to have major india - Pakistan conflict for its own interest.
First thing US did was, US NSA called india and asked to shut it. That is why india, before leash is on, hurriedly called press conference to gain political milage from domestic audience.
At the same time, one can be certain US reached Pakistan and impact of that can be seen in the tapered reaction from government and ISPR.
I suppose in time things will be revealed.
US ambassador met Indian NSA and asked Pakistan to contain Lashkar-e-Tayaba.
They are supporting India very very firmly. And they are angry at Pakistan for supporting the Taliban so I think they'll be happy about India exerting more pressure on Pakistan, engaging us on the Eastern border so the US can kill targets in West Pakistan like the drone strike on Mullah Mansoor.
Frankly this is very serious for Pakistan and that the government and ISPR are both silent is worrying me.
