He was elected to Provincial Assembly of Sindh on a reserved seat for minorities in 2018 Pakistani general election representing Pakistan Peoples Party Parliamentarians[1]

As member of the assembly, he has spoken out against a proposed bill that would have applicants state their religious identification before applying, arguing that it would further promote religious discrimination.[2]
