Political career
[edit]In the 2024 Pakistani general election, she secured a seat in the Provincial Assembly of the Punjab through a reserved quota for women as a candidate of Pakistan Muslim League (N) (PML-N).[1]
On 13 May 2024, the Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) suspended her membership as a member of the Provincial Assembly of the Punjab.[2] This action followed a Supreme Court of Pakistan decision to suspend the verdict of the Peshawar High Court, which had denied the allocation of a reserved seat to the PTI-Sunni Ittehad Council bloc.[3] The membership was restored by the Supreme Court constitutional bench in June 2025. Since then she has been actively involved in politics and is also chairing the committee on Literacy and non formal Education. She is also focal person on health & population department
