A five-member bench of the ECP, headed by Chief Election Commissioner Sikandar Sultan Raja, had heard the petition.<br \/>\nThe electoral watchdog had reserved its decision on August 18 last year after Shujaat Hussain approached it when Pervaiz Elahi\u2019s group had decided to remove Shujaat Hussain and General Secretary Tariq Bashir Cheema from the party\u2019s top slots.<br \/>\nFormer Punjab chief minister Pervaiz Elahi had been responsible for orchestrating Shujaat\u2019s ouster from his position as party leader. Further, Pervaiz was elected unopposed as PML-Q Punjab president at that time.<br \/>\nPML-N leader and Federal Information Minister Marriyum Aurangzeb has extended congratulations to Chaudhry Shujaat Hussain on retaining PML-Q presidency. In a tweet uploaded on Tuesday, Marriyum said \u201cCongratulations to Chaudhry Shujaat. The fascist mind of taking away the Quaid League from him was defeated. The order of the Election Commission is a message that the decisions will be made in the light of the constitution and the law, not in the fog of darkness.\u201d<br \/>\nThe minister further said \u201cThe fascism of burning, knocking down, killing, picking up and throwing away is not imposed in the country.
