Aug 26, 2019
New Delhi [India], Aug 26 : Tributes for former Finance Minister Arun Jaitley, who was passed away on Saturday at AIIMS after a prolonged illness, have been pouring in from across the world.
Among them is Amul India, who also expressed grief over the demise of the BJP stalwart and a persuasive orator.
Taking to Twitter, Amul posted a black and white graphic of Jaitley and wrote, "Tribute to much-respected minister and attorney..."
The veteran BJP leader breathed his last at AIIMS at the age of 66 and was cremated on Sunday at Nigambodh Ghat in the national capital.
In the picture, Jaitely's monochromatic caricature is surrounded by bouquet and flowers, particularly lotus which is also BJP party's symbol.
The Amul advertisement reads "Kamal (Lotus) ke neta. Kamaal ke achievements," which roughly translates to "BJP's leader, remarkable achievements".
Jaitley first became a cabinet minister in the government of former Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee in 2000. He then also went on to serve as the Leader of the Opposition in the Rajya Sabha from June 2009.
He was appointed the finance minister in the first term of Modi government in 2014. He opted out of the 2019 Lok Sabha elections citing health reasons.
