BJP owes Arun Jaitley for being what it is today: Kapil Sibal

Congress leader Kapil Sibal on Saturday said Arun Jaitley was fateful to his ideology till his last breath and the BJP owes him for being what it is today.

Condoling the demise of the former Finance Minister, Sibal said, "We have lost someone whom the nation needed for many years."

Sibal said Jaitley was a man of exceptional qualities and abilities and was wedded to an ideology since his university days and was "fateful to that ideology till his last breath".

Jaitley was a man who breathed politics, understood politics and was committed to the country, Sibal said.

The senior Congress leader further said Jaitley was "an outstanding parliamentarian as leader of the opposition and none could match him".
