Former Union Minister Arun Jaitley is responding to treatment and his vitals are stable, said a senior doctor of the All India Institute of Medical Science (AIIMS) on Sunday.

Mr. Jaitley was admitted to AIIMS earlier this week after he complained of breathlessness and restlessness.

The former Finance Minister has been in the intensive care unit and is “haemodynamically stable”, according to a statement released earlier by the hospital.

Vice-President Venkaiah Naidu visited the hospital on Saturday and said Mr. Jaitley was responding to treatment well.
