Khan Market blues: It is unfair to call the citizens that frequent the area a gang

In short, the Khan Market “gang” deserves to be appreciated and respected, rather than be treated with disdain. Needless to say, this includes the hard-working journalists who also live in that area.

To call the government servants residing around Khan Market, whether senior or junior, a “gang” of elites is to be unfair to many.

No, not another article on Khan Market! The response, in the form of numerous articles in newspapers, is not surprising, considering the number of supposedly elite men and women simmering over the tag so derisively conferred on them by no less a person than the highly popular prime minister himself. The “Khan Market Gang” — as if it is a group of gangsters living (and shopping) there by virtue of the wealth acquired through questionable means, not unlike the robber barons of the US.
