‘India raises issue of US snooping on Indian parties’

While addressing a joint press briefing after over three-hour long talks with Kerry, Swaraj said she raised the issue of US cyber snooping and conveyed to Kerry that the people of India were very agitated over the US surveillance activities.

“I also told them that if we consider each other friends then a friendly country spying on another is unacceptable,” she said.

In July, a classified document made public by The Washington Post showed that Indian rightwing Hindu party BJP, which swept Indian election in May, was among authorised targets for the NSA in 2010 while it was India’s main opposition.

The BJP was listed among six foreign political parties — along with Egypt’s Islamist movement Muslim Brotherhood and Pakistan’s Pakistan People’s Party — on which the NSA was given permission to carry out surveillance in 2010, said the document published by The Washington Post. It was supplied by fugitive US intelligence worker Edward Snowden.
