Rajnath, Kejriwal among leaders who visited AIIMS to enquire about Jaitley's health

Several Union ministers including Rajnath Singh, Smriti Irani and Jitendra Singh, and Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal visited AIIMS here on Sunday to enquire about the health condition of former finance minister Arun Jaitley, who is on life support system.

Jaitley, 66, was admitted to the hospital on August 9 after he complained of breathlessness and restlessness.

The All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) has not issued any bulletin on Jaitley's health condition since August 10, and several prominent leaders have been visiting the hospital in recent days to know about his wellbeing.

Sources had said a multidisciplinary team of doctors is monitoring him.

Those who visited the hospital on Sunday also included Union minister Ram Vilas Paswan, Himachal Pradesh Governor Kalraj Mishra, Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) Joint General Secretary Dr Krishna Gopal and former Samajwadi Party leader Amar Singh.

On Saturday also several politicians visited the hospitals to check on his health.

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