Early life and education
Mattu was born in Gujranwala. She received her degree of MA in Urdu from University of the Punjab, Lahore.[1]
Political career
She was elected to the Provincial Assembly of the Punjab as a candidate of Pakistan Muslim League (N) from PP-95 (Gujranwala-V) constituency in the 2008 Pakistani general election.[1]
She was indirectly elected to the National Assembly of Pakistan as a candidate of Pakistan Muslim League (N) on reserved seats for women from Punjab in the 2013 Pakistani general election.[2][3]
On 13 May 2024, the Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) suspended her membership as a member of the National Assembly.[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]
