Stupid, Air force was deployed but its cheif Chitnis was relunctant to use Bombs e.g.Neplam & others available in aresnal.If IAF had crossed LOC they were fired at , we lost 2 Planes.If as suggested by you it would had developed full war with pakistan.NDA had done best by killing maximum jihadis & throwing out remaining without giving an inch of Indian territory.Look what Congress had done: -1948 given away 1/3 Kashmir to pak. -1962 given away huge Indian territories Akasi Chin & NEFA -1965 Given away PirPanjal to Paki. -1972 given away huge territories in Rajasthan border won by Indian forces also 100000 captured pakis without asking back POK. Now China is nibbing away indian territory in ArunaChal Pardesh & sikkim & Manmohan is in deep slumber.
