Finance Minister Arun Jaitley today underwent a planned elective laparoscopic procedure for diabetes management at a hospital here.
The procedure was carried out in a private hospital, a release issued by the BJP stated.
61-year-old Jaitley was admitted to the hospital yesterday and had undertaken some tests ahead of the surgery. His condition is stated to be fine. Jaitley has been a diabetic for a few years.
Jaitley's health condition had recently come under scanner when he had to-- owing to some physical strain--read a part of his maiden budget speech sitting down in the Lok Sabha.
