US snooping

Khurshid's Remark Shameful

The UPA government should have strongly protested against such surveillance and bugging. Instead, it is shocking that the External Affairs Minister, Salman Khurshid has sought to justify the snooping by stating that “It is not snooping. It is only computer study and computer analysis of patterns of calls”. India has a foreign minister who is not worried that the Indian embassy in Washington is bugged by the US intelligence agency. This shameful remark has come at a time when even the close allies of the United States like Germany and France have protested against the US snooping on their countries.
