Recently, Arun Jaitley's son Rohan too had made headlines when he had made contribution to the Prime Minister's COVID-19 relief fund, in honour of his father. He had then tweeted, "In memory of my father @arunjaitley , had he been amongst us today, would have undoubtedly been at the forefront, doing all it takes to overcome the present crises. A humble contribution. " 

Arun Jaitley had passed away on August 24 last year. He was 66. 

The leader took up numerous political responsibilities in his close to three-decade career. The most recent and notable one was as a Finance Minister in the first term of Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s rule. He had also served as the Union Minister of Law and Justice and Union Minister for Information and Broadcasting in the Atal Bihari Vajpayee government.

Bharatiya Janata Party national executive and spokesperson of the party, Leader of Opposition in the Parliament from 2009 to 2014 and as a cricket administration for the Delhi & District Cricket Association were some of the other roles he was known for.  

The iconic Feroz Shah Kotla in Delhi was renamed as the Arun Jaitley Stadium, on September 12, less a month after his demise in memory of the leader.
