Political career

She was first Muslim woman minister in Government of West Bengal in the First Mamata Banerjee ministry.[3][4][5] Sabina Yasmin's victory from Mothabari was particularly creditable because Shehnaz Quadery, a niece of A. B. A. Ghani Khan Choudhury contested the seat as an independent candidate. She was one of the seven Muslim woman MLA in the West Bengal Legislative Assembly.[6] She resigned as a minister when the Congress party decided to pull out of the Mamata Banerjee government.[7] In 2018 she joined All India Trinamool Congress.[8]
