New Delhi: On Friday, Union Ministers Amit Shah and Harsh Vardhan visited All India Institute of Medical Science (AIIMS) to inquire about former Union Finance Minister Arun Jaitley's health condition. The 66-year-old was said to be in a critical condition after he was admitted to the hospital after he complained of weakness and palpitation on August 9.

The hospital has not yet issued any bulletin on the leader's health. On August 10, Vice President Venkaiah Naidu, on visiting him, was informed by the doctors that he is responding to the treatment and is stable. Owing to his health conditions Jaitley did not fight the elections this year.
