William Hickman:

What beats me is that in the case of eastern Pakistan border Pakistan is insisting on having foreign troops (which is possibly Western troops) to monitor that border. They are not agreeing to India's proposal of a patrol team consisting only of Indian and Pakistani troops.

On the other hand, on its western border which is infested with Taliban and Al Quada folks, Pakistan does not want any foreign troops. They prefer to station only their troops.

And I also do not understand why India does not want foreign troops to be part of the monitoring team. Probably politics is playing a role here, IMO. They will agree to a multinational force in the LoC if the Pakistanis agree to a multinational force at the Afghanistan/Pakistan border also. Again, I am pretty sure that the US and the UK would not want to get involved in a multination monitoring force across the LoC. hence India offering a bilateral monitoring team serves the purpose of the Western strategy.
