Congress Leader Shashi Tharoor's son Ishaan is among over 300 journalists and staff laid off by The Washington Post. In a post, Ishaan wrote, "I'm heartbroken for our newsroom and especially for the peerless journalists who served the Post internationally — editors and correspondents who have been my friends...for almost 12 years. It's been an honour to work with them."
