But Congress told the party cannot on Raja involvement in the 2G spectrum scam as the matter is sub judice.

"The matter of A Raja has been in focus for many months now and the matter is now sub judice, pending in court. So until the court takes a view, it will be difficult for us to comment or take any further action," Congress spokesperson Jayanthi Natarajan said.
