Finance Minister Arun Jaitley Friday advised the Congress party to become "mature" and not to drag armed forces in political discourse.

Jaitley's anguish follows comments of senior Congress leader and former Union minister M Veerappa Moily who Thursday accused Indian Air Force chief B S Dhanoa of "lying" a day after the latter called the Rafale deal a "game changer" and the Supreme Court verdict on it a "very fine" judgement.

"After having ruled this country for decades, the grand old Party needs to mature," Jaitley wrote in a blog -- 'Why drag the Air Force into political debate?'
