A day after Union Minister Giriraj Singh's controversial remark in which he accused the Congress of fielding a "sympathiser" of Mohammad Ali Jinnah from the Jale seat in Darbhanga, BJP leader Syed Shahnawaz Hussain also attacked the Congress, saying it was advocating the restoration of Article 370 if it came to power.

Speaking to mediapersons on Saturday, Hussain said the Congress and other partners in the Mahagathbandhan should clarify their position on fielding Maskoor Usmani, a former Aligarh Muslim University student union leader, from the Jale seat.
