NEW DELHI : THE good work done by Arun Jaitley for the country will remain immortal though he died too soon, Prime Minister Narendra Modi said on Tuesday as he visited the late BJP leader’s family at his residence here and conveyed his condolences. Jaitley (66), a former Union Minister, passed away at the All Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) here on Saturday.

Union Home Minister Amit Shah arrived at Jaitley’s residence earlier and received the Prime Minister along with Rohan Jaitley, the former Union Finance Minister’s son. Other family members were also present when Modi walked in and spoke to Jaitley’s wife and children. He also offered floral tributes to the departed leader.

The Prime Minister spent about 20-25 minutes at Jaitley’s residence. Later, in a tweet, the Prime Minister said, “destiny took Arun Ji away from us too soon but the good work he has done for India will remain immortal.”
