Ishaan Tharoor, the son of Congress MP Shashi Tharoor, has returned to public attention after he was laid off from The Washington Post amid widespread job cuts that significantly reduced the newspaper’s international coverage. In a social media post, he called the layoffs “a bad day,” sharing an image of an empty newsroom as The Washington Post announced restructuring that affected a large section of its international and sports staff.
He described the day as “heart-breaking” and said it had been an honour to work with colleagues on the international desk for nearly 12 years, reported news agency ANI.
