Arun Jaitley on life support

New Delhi: Several politicians including Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar, Union minister Piyush Goyal, and Congress leaders Abhishek Singhvi and Jyotiraditya Scindia visited AIIMS here on Saturday to enquire about the health condition of former finance minister Arun Jaitley, who has been put on a life support system, sources said.

Others who visited the All India Institute of Medical Sciences to inquire about his health are Union Health Minister Harsh Vardhan, BJP's Satish Upadhyay and Air Chief Marshal Birender Singh Dhanoa, the sources said.

The 66-year-old leader has been put on the life support system and a multidisciplinary team of doctors is monitoring his condition, they said.

BSP chief and former Uttar Pradesh chief minister Mayawati also visited the hospital.

Vardhan had said on Friday, "Doctors at AIIMS are doing the best they can."

President Ram Nath Kovind, Union Home Minister Amit Shah and UP Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath had visited AIIMS on Friday to check on the leader's health.

The All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) has not issued any bulletin on Jaitley's health condition since August 10. Jaitley was admitted on August 9 after he complained of breathlessness and restlessness.

In May this year, he was admitted to AIIMS for treatment.
