The OP said "another diversion" (in this instance engine-related), not "another engine-related diversion". We might assume that the other implied diversions all involve the GTF too, but we know what assuming does ... Hopefully he will clarify in due course.
As for the engine "playing up again", well we all know the history of the GTF and its past problems. I'm simply interested in knowing how recently he is referring to here.

There was another same airline A320neo diversion within India due to engine vibration. The PW engine failures have stopped but some vibration issues exist. This Karachi diversion I am not sure of the problem. My post was information seeking. There is a sudden spate of incidents in Indian carriers may be ten or so for different issues. Added to that in the same period three foreign carriers also have landed in India with problems.

As a pilot, if you had a similar issue during cruise, how concerned would you be?
Since the other engine will have to be operated at a significantly higher thrust setting to compensate for the IFSD, and it could also have similar vibration issues (since it's the exact same engine, probably with a very similar age).
