'International Khan Market Gang': Jaishankar Slams Western Media And 'Attempts to Influence Indian Politics, Voters'

New Delhi: External AffairsExternal AffairsExternal Affairs Minister S Jaishankar on Friday took a dig at what he termed as an anti-India ecosystem calling them the "International Khan Market gang". He criticised this group, describing them as upscale, liberal westernised elites who allegedly disdain India, particularly in an election year, aiming to shape Indian politics for the benefit of a select minority.

In an exclusive interview with ANI, Jaishankar highlighted a perceived symbiotic relationship between Western media and this group, characterising it as an 'elitist left-liberal' thought process that draws cues from Indian media and political systems to undermine India.

External Affairs Minister said, "In the country today, there is a certain thought process, or entitlement process for which the metaphor of 'Khan Market Gang' is a very good description. I want to tell you there is an international Khan Market Gang as well".
