New Delhi, Sept 3 (IBNS): Vice President M. Venkaiah Naidu attended a prayer meeting held in memory of Late Arun Jaitley, the former Union Finance Minister, in New Delhi on Tuesday and paid his respects.

Naidu took to social media to pay tributes to Late Arun Jaitley, and said he was a close associate and a dear friend. “Jaitley ji will forever be remembered as one of the most prominent architects of India’s socio-economic resurgence,” he said.

The Vice President said that Jaitley was an outstanding Parliamentarian, legal luminary, towering intellectual, an able administrator and a statesman of impeccable integrity.

“He distinguished himself by effectively handling important portfolios as Union Minister," he added.

Referring to Jaitley’s vast repertoire of knowledge and his grasp of both national and international issues, Naidu said that he would be missed by one and all for the hall mark perspectives he used to present on all major issues, enriching public and parliamentary discourse.

Observing that Arun Jaitely epitomized versatility and was a multi-faceted genius, the Vice President said that he possessed remarkable clarity of thought and conviction. “He was a communicator par excellence and would articulate the most of complex issues in a simple manner," he added.

The Vice President said that Jaitley has left an indelible mark on the canvas of India’s history and expressed hope that his life and legacy would inspire many more to take up the noble pursuit of serving the nation with dedication and selflessness.
