Noted Hindustani classical singer Chhannulal Mishra is the fourth recipient of the Padma Vibhushan award, the second-highest civilian honour after Bharat Ratna.
Bishan Singh Bedi has quoted the renaming of Feroz Shah Kotla to Arun Jaitley Stadium also as one of the main reasons for his dissatisfaction.
Union Home Minister Amit Shah too remembered "friend of friends" Jaitley.
The minister described Jaitley as the 'architect of GST'.
Arun Jaitley, who had passed away on August 24 last year after a prolonged illness, had also served Indian cricket as BCCI Vice-President.
The fire has been brought under control, informed the officials, adding that there was widespread panic among those present at the spot, however, no casualties have been reported so far.
Earlier on Saturday, Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) chief Mayawati visited AIIMS, where Arun Jaitley is admitted in the hospital's ICU since August 9.
66-year-old Jaitley, who was admitted to the AIIMS on August 9, has been in the hospital’s ICU since then as he is critical but haemodynamically stable.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Home Minister Amit Shah, Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla and other top BJP leaders visited the hospital to inquire about his condition.
The obsessive security associated with Budget preparation, where dozens of Finance Ministry officials are sequestered in North Block days ahead of the presentation, has a huge downside in that there is no informed discussion on the proposed budgetary provisions. Unfortunately, budget proposals are finalised in the rarefied atmosphere of North Block, far removed from the persons and places for whose benefit the whole exercise is undertaken.
