It is in India's interest to not further destabilize Pakistan.

This is a great post by the way.
I had hopes that Pakistan's new government would attempt to reform the ISI as they have been fighting a behind the scenes war against Pakistans government for years and providing overt support and intelligence to the terror groups in the Wild Lands.
