He condoled the death of the 26-year-old employee and suggested reducing working hours and working five days a week.
'Should work 5 days a week'
Saddened by the death due to work pressure, Shashi Tharoor posted on the social media platform 'X' and wrote, 'I had a conversation with Sebastian Perale's father Sibi Joseph about the deceased. He died of a heart attack after working 14 hours continuously in the company and seven days of stressful work. Whether it is a private sector or a public sector, no one should work more than eight hours a day. I will also raise the issue of fixing working hours in Parliament in the next session.'
