New Delhi, Aug 8 (PTI) : After triggering huge furore, Government today made amends by blaming Pakistan Army for the killing of five Indian soldiers and said the incident will have consequences on India's behaviour on the Line of Control and ties with Pakistan.

Defence Minister A K Antony asserted in Parliament that India's restraint should not be taken for granted nor should the capacity of its armed forces and government's resolve to uphold the sanctity of the LoC be doubted.

Antony, who faced BJP fury for the last two days, made a fresh statement in both Houses, saying his earlier contention about the involvement of "terrorists along with persons dressed in Pakistan Army uniform" was based on information available at that time.

Since then the Chief of Army Staff has visited the area and gone into the details of the matter, he said.

"It is now clear that specialist troops of the Pakistan Army were involved in the attack when a group from Pakistan occupied Kashmir (PoK) side crossed the LoC and killed our brave jawans," he said in the statement aimed at controlling damage done by the earlier version.

"We all know that nothing happens from Pakistan side of LoC without support, assistance, facilitation and often, direct involvement of Pakistan Army," Antony said.
In the Lok Sabha, Leader of the Opposition Sushma Swaraj said her party was happy that the Defence Minister has "accepted his mistake" and rectified it.

BJP had been targeting Antony alleging that he had given clean chit to Pakistan Army and should apologise. The main opposition party paralysed Parliament for the last two days.
