Militarisation was a provocation and a direct violation of the Shimla agreement. Pakistan was promoting tourism and had built civil camps only.Siachen never belonged to Pakistan. Both armies sprinted towards it.
Pakistan's nuclear tests post date the Indian ones by a month. Does it mean that Pakistan never toyed with nuclear energy and suddenly embarked on the path due to Indian tests, finished everything in a month and came up with its own nuclear device?
The fact that both India and Pakistan scaled Siachen at the same time, shows that even Pakistan was preparing to militarily occupy Siachen and India only thinly outran them.
Even then India had to dislodge Pakistan from some of the Siachen posts to gain upper hand there. Shimla argument is only to deflect guilt on the other side.
