"Our position is well known ... erection of fences along LoC is a violation of UN Security Council resolutions and also all the bilateral agreements that have been signed by the two countries," foreign office spokesman Masood Khan said.

Khan's comments came after Indian Foreign Minister Yashwant Sinha dismissed Pakistani concerns over Indian move to put up fences along a 460-kilometer (286-mile) stretch of the LoC to prevent Islamic militants crossing from the Pakistani side of the de facto border.

"We do not accept this thesis. We will be sharing our views with them," Sinha told reporters Sunday, a day after Islamabad conveyed its protest.

Khan rejected Sinha's statement that India would share its views with Pakistan over the issue.

"It is not views that we are talking about, it is the binding agreements that we have concluded and I think that these agreements are not open to further interpretations."

Then United Nations is aware of the matter, he said adding that "Pakistan has not been quite, we have been active on this issue."

The 760 kilometer (470 mile) LoC was drawn up in 1972 as a ceasefire line one year after after the third and last war between India and Pakistan.

LoC has served as a de-facto border between the Indian and Pakistani-controlled zones of the Himalayan region, which both sides have claimed in full since partition in 1947.

India and Pakistan have been observing a historic ceasefire along the LoC in Kashmir since November 26 after Islamabad proposed an end to the nearly daily shelling by the Indian and Pakistani armies in the area.
