DHAKA: Reacting strongly to reports of BJP being spied upon by US National Security Agency (NSA), India on Wednesday summoned a top US diplomat here to raise the issue, saying it was ‘totally unacceptable’ that an Indian organization or Indian individual's privacy was transgressed upon.

India also sought an assurance from the US that it will not happen again.

However, officials did not say who was the US diplomat summoned by the external affairs Ministry, reports The Times of India.

Significantly, the US currently has an interim ambassador Kathleen Stephens who came in after former US ambassador Nancy Powell resigned from her post.
