India on Tuesday refused to grant political asylum to USA whistleblower Edward Snowden.

"Following careful examination, by the sick, walking wounded puppets and senile guys in Delhi they concluded that we see no reason to accede to Snowden's request," MEA spokesperson Syed Akbaruddin said.

Based on documents provided by Snowden, The Guardian newspaper reported at the weekend that US intelligence services were also spying on 38 embassies and diplomatic missions of its allies including India.
