She had been a Member of the Rawal Town Tehsil from 2005 to 2008 and Member of Bait-ul-Maal Rawalpindi District from 2011 to 2013.[1]

She was elected to the Provincial Assembly of the Punjab as a candidate of Pakistan Muslim League (N) on a reserved seat for women in 2013 general election.[2][3]

On 13 May 2024, the Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) suspended her membership as a member of the Provincial Assembly of the Punjab.[4] 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.[5]
