The TLP is Barelvi and is hardly well-disposed towards the Pakistani Army right now. The TTP is Deobandi, as are the Afghan Taliban. Those are the two major Sunni sects in the Indian subcontinent, I believe.

Whom else has the Islamic State of Pakistan angered, in terms of sects of Islam?

If India does get a lease on Bagram, will a Paki air assault on Kabul provoke air defense by India from Bagram?

A new live frontier emerges in India-Pakistan tensions - ET

Studies estimate that Pakistan could lose around 2,246 square kilometres of EEZ if India’s interpretation that the boundary follows the midstream is accepted.

They cannot 'lose' what was never theirs to begin with.
Indian claim of the boundary in the middle of the channel is the most logical and legally defensible one. But more than that, it is also enforceable by the Indian military and diplomacy at this point in our history.
