Referring to the ongoing trade war between super powers US, China, Jaitley said that the situation is causing an economic imbalance in the world.

  In a blog, Jaitley said there were many in India who were opposed to the very idea of partition and amongst the leading opponents undoubtedly was Mookerjee.

It would be both important and necessary to first analyse the law declared by the Supreme Court since various versions of what the Supreme Court has said have appeared in the media, Jaitley said in the article.

Jaitley added while there would be scope to merge some of the mid-category tax slabs depending on the collections going up, but a single-slab system will not work for India.

In a Facebook blog, Arun Jaitley pointed out that those who participate in a public discourse must understand basic facts before expressing an opinion which may be ill-informed.

Jaitley, like always did not mince words in criticising the Congress government for unleashing a sense of fear in people's mind and subverting democratic principles during the 21-month-long period.

In third part of his Facebook blog series on the Emergency, Jaitley recalled how Rajat Sharma and Vijay Goel helped him in organizing the protest against the draconian measure.

Drawing parallel between Nazi dictator Adolf Hitler and former Prime Minister Indira Gandhi, the Union Finance Minister said that both turn democracy into dictatorship.

Indira Gandhi imposed Emergency on June 25, 1975 on account of international disturbances, suspending key fundamental rights guaranteed under the Constitution to every citizen.

 The veteran Congress leader termed Jaitley's remark as 'laughable and absurd' while asserting that his party has always 'stoutly opposed' Maoists and jehadists.

Protecting the human rights of the ordinary citizens in Kashmir was important, said the union minister.

In a Facebook post, Jaitley blasted the Congress party for putting ideology on the backburner and opting for dynastic politics.

Jaitley’s remarks came a day after a letter was reportedly found in the house of a person arrested for alleged maoist "links" that talked about the ultras mulling "Rajiv Gandhi-type incident" and suggesting that Prime Minister Narendra Modi should be targeted during his "road shows".

In a tweet, Jaitley expressed gratitude to the doctors, nurses and paramedics who took care of him during his stay at the All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS).

In his letter, Vishwas said that the remarks by him and other party leaders against Jaitley were based on the facts shared by Aam Aadmi Party national convenor Arvind Kejriwal.

Jaitley said the political agenda for the debate this year appropriately will be Prime Minister Narendra Modi versus an "anarchist combination" of such parties.

Jaitley, 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 April 6.

In his Facebook post, Jaitley termed the impeachment motion as “wholly misconcieved”, adding that “it was poorly drafted and lacked in substance”.
