NEW DELHI: India`s foreign ministry repeated on Thursday its views about the Kashmir issue.

Reacting to a fresh letter written by Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif to the United Nation chief regarding the matter, foreign ministry spokesman Vikas Swarup said that Pakistan`s move would not alter `the reality`.

`They can write as many letters as they want (to UN), it won`t change the fact that J&K is an integral part of India,` he said.

Media reports quoted Mr Swarup as saying: `Also the ground reality is that a part of Jammu and Kashmir is under illegal occupation of Pakistan.
