The fuel for combined cycle gas is normally high pressure natural gas. It can come from pipeline or LNG(liquid natural gas)
transported by ship then pass it thru re gassing plant

Indeed. It is up to Pakistan and India to agree. China get the project rolling because Pakistan agrees to go ahead. China can not nor should "squeeze" in anybody else (India included) without Pakistan feeling comfortable.
If China want to woo India, China can offer some other cooperation separately, which I think China did, but generally rejected by India. Their choice, too bad, but China will have to move full speed with CPEC regardless.
so I guess, the pipe line is from Gwadar, the gas from the gulf.
Seeing this photo gives me vertigo, brave guy indeed. OH&S should have stop him from doing this but that's how these guys operate, I have personally seen a wheeled JCB once perched on a steep slope working to stabilise it.
I know you asked timepass, but I can offer another guessed possibility, Chinese car factories locally assembling and producing cars to export either back to China or more likely to western Asia and Africa.
I have seen Chinese built cars in Egypt many years ago. Now with the rise of Chinese salary, it would be wise for the manufacturers to move some productions to Pakistan or OBOR countries.

Of course PRC and Pakistani leaders must take local governments and residence in account, that goes without saying. But, I stress India is a reemerging great power, and the 800-pound gorilla in South Asia. So, both China and Pakistan should keep that important player's interests in mind, and craft economic policies to suit.
India has ports in the area to be sure, but the issue isn't if India has ports, but giving it a stake in Gwadar's success, so it wouldn't simply look at it as a threat. Involving the Russians is a great move.

It could be natural gas operated.

Firstly, I don't know anything about Pakistan's local auto industry, so I have no idea who may be upset.
Secondly, from what I gather from defence.pk, members from there mentioned quite many public figures in Pakistan advocating against CPEC including some politicians and academics, just similar to figures in Myanmar about Chinese projects. So anybody can be motivated by any reason that we know to voice upset, so to hinder the project. I won't be surprised if someone there people "speak" on behalf of the Baluchi people not fairly employed, or environmental activists, or worker's unions, whatever.
So I pay attention to the reported facts of that post, but not to un-sourced analysis that was referred. I will only do so when I see an article about it.
That is not up to the safety standard in the west, but it was and probably still common practice in China and Pakistan and many other non-western countries. A risk that "poor" people willing to take to catch up (speed up) the rich west.
