Congress on Fridaydownplayed the alleged sex scandal involving Andhra Pradesh Governor N D Tiwari, saying since the matter is sub judice it would be inappropriate for the party to comment on the issue.

"Since the matter is sub judice, it would be inappropriate to comment. The veracity of the material should be independently verified," Congress spokesman Manish Tewari told PTI.

On whether the Governor's post should be above such controversies, Tewari said, the material could even be morphed.

A video footage allegedly showing N D Tiwari with some women was telecast today in a local TV channel in the state. The Governor has himself rubbished the tapes and a case has been filed in the High Court.
