" PM @narendramodi visits Arun Jaitley's residence, pays tribute to Arun Jaitley and extends his condolences to the bereaved family," PIB India tweeted.
Jaitley passed away at AIIMS in New Delhi last week.

The 1952 born Jaitley, known for his friendly relations with the media, had undergone a renal transplant last year and Railway Minister Piyush Goyal handled the portfolio of Finance for sometime.
