Finance Minster Arun Jaitley continued to be under medical observation for the second day today at the All Indian Institute of Medical Sciences and no time for his kidney transplant surgery has been decided.

Jaitley, 65, who was admitted to AIIMS Friday evening in New Delhi, has been kept under observation.

Sources said the doctors attending to him have not yet finalised date of the kidney transplant operation.

Jaitley is suffering from a kidney ailment and has not been attending office since Monday.

He has not even taken oath of office after being re-elected to the Rajya Sabha.

Sources said the minister, who was kept in a 'controlled environment' at home, was shifted to the AIIMS on Friday evening.

A kidney transplant operation was scheduled for yesterday and all formalities for a donor kidney were also completed but was kept under one day observation.

The minister, who cancelled his scheduled visit to London for the 10th India-UK Economic and Financial Dialogue next week, had confirmed his illness in a tweet on Thursday. -- PTI
