New Delhi, Feb 28 (IANS) Finance Minister Arun Jaitley Saturday sat down in between his budget speech in the Lok Sabha and then continued reading out the text.

The 62-year-old politician is known to suffer from recurring backaches.

Speaker Sumitra Mahajan Saturday asked Jaitley in between his speech if he needed to sit. Jaitley said he will sit down when needed and conveyed his gratitude to her.
