In July 2020, she was expelled from PTI for violation of party discipline[3] and was ordered to resign from the Punjab Assembly.[4] In May 2022, she was de-notified by the ECP as a member of the assembly due to her vote in favor of Pakistan Muslim League (N) (PML-N) candidate, Hamza Shahbaz, in the chief minister election held on 16 April 2022.[5][6]
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 PML-N.[7]
