President, PM, political leaders condole stalwart’s demise
Former Union Finance Minister and senior BJP leader Arun Jaitley passed away on Saturday at the All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) at 12.07 p.m. He was 66 and is survived by wife and two children.
Mr. Jaitley had been admitted on August 9 with complaints of uneasiness and breathlessness and was under the care of a multi-disciplinary team of senior doctors. He was put on prolonged cardiac and respiratory support after his condition deteriorated days after he was admitted.
In a statement, AIIMS said: “It is with profound grief that we inform about the sad demise of Arun Jaitley, former Finance Minister of Government of India, at 12.07 p.m. on August 24.”
The former Minister had been unwell for a larger part of the past two years. In 2014, he underwent a bariatric surgery to correct the weight he had gained because of a long-standing diabetic condition. In 2018, he underwent a kidney transplant surgery at AIIMS. Earlier this year, in January, he was diagnosed with a rare form of soft tissue sarcoma, a form of cancer.
