India to lodge protest with US over NSA snooping on BJP

With reports that US national security agency snooped on BJP kicking up a political storm, a seething India looks set to strongly lodge a protest with the top rungs of the US administration.

Highly-placed sources said that with secret documents produced by whistle blower Edward Snowden revealing the alleged snooping, the government is likely to either summon the US envoy here or register a “strong protest” in Washington through ambassador S Jaishankar.
