According to a general involved with the " bleed India " strategy of infiltrating jihadists into Kashmir : In May 1998 , India tested its nuclear weapons at Pokhran-II followed by Pakistani nuclear tests . The Infiltration of Pakistani soldiers disguised as Kashmiri militants into positions on the Indian side of the LOC , resulted in a geographically limited Kargil War , during which the Pakistani Foreign Secretary Shamshad Ahmed issued a veiled nuclear threat that , ' We will not hesitate to use any weapon in our arsenal to defend our territorial integrity . ' After the Kargil War in 1999 , the Kargil Review Committee came out with a report which took reference to the concept of Pakistan bleeding India . In Chapter 12 , " Could Kargil Have Been Avoided ? " , the report said that if the " Siachenisation " of Kargil had happened prior to the war , that if troops had been stationed there all year round along a wider area , it would have resulted in huge costs " and enabled Pakistan to bleed India "
