New Delhi, February 9
Union Minister Arun Jaitley today returned from the United States, where he was undergoing medical treatment. “Delighted to be back home,” he tweeted.
Jaitley, who was the Finance Minister before a medical procedure led to the charge being temporarily taken away from him, missed presenting the sixth and final Budget of the Narendra Modi government before the elections. In his absence, the charge of the ministry was given to Railways Minister Piyush Goyal.
Jaitley, 66, had last month flown to New York for the treatment after being reportedly diagnosed with soft tissue cancer, which required surgery. He underwent ren-al transplant surgery on May 14, 2018, at AIIMS. — PTI
