Jaitley, 65, who was admitted to AIIMS Friday evening in New Delhi, has been kept under observation. Sources said that keeping a kidney transplant patient under one-day observation is a routine medical procedure and his surgery is likely to be done on Sunday. A kidney transplant operation was scheduled for Saturday and all formalities for a donor kidney were also completed. That surgery was first performed at Max Hospital, but he had to be later shifted to AIIMS because of complications.
