Photo Gallery: Remembering Arun Jaitley, the BJP stalwart

Former finance minister and Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader Arun Jaitley died at the age of 66 on Saturday after a prolonged illness. The BJP stalwart, who held several important portfolios in his political career spanning over four decades, breathed his last at 12.07 pm at the All India Institute of Medical Science (AIIMS) in New Delhi. 

Jaitley was admitted to AIIMS on August 9 and was later put on the ventilator. His condition improved but he remained under doctors' observation. On August 16, the BJP leader's health once again deteriorated and he was put on life support.
