"The Ministry of Defence will stand by the Army. We have to work together with the Jammu and Kashmir government," Nirmala Sitharaman said.
JAMMU: With two terror strikes on security forces in Jammu and Kashmir in two days, Defence Minister Nirmala Sitharaman today said Pakistan will "pay".
"I wouldn't certainly state a timeline (for action against Pakistan). But will say this, Pakistan will pay for this misadventure. I repeat, Pakistan will pay for it," Ms Sitharaman said, triggering speculation about another possible strike against terror camps across the Line of Control, as happened after the 2016 terror attack on the army camp at Uri.
"The Ministry of Defence will stand by the Army. We have to work together with the Jammu and Kashmir government," the minister said.
On Saturday, one of the deadliest terror attacks took place in Sunjuwan army camp in Jammu and Kashmir, in which five army personnel and a civilian died. Ten people including six women and children, were injured. The police said terrorists of Jaish-e Mohammad were involved, who were killed after a nearly 36-hour operation.

Another suicide attack on a CRPF camp in the heart of Srinagar was repulsed this morning.
In a scathing attack on Pakistan, the minister said the neighbouring state has not taken any action "despite dossier after dossier given to them... In fact those responsible for Mumbai terror attack are freely roaming in Pakistan".
