Sabina Yeasmin

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]

Zilla Parishad

Sabina was Sabhadipati of Malda Zilla Parishad before contesting the assembly elections. In 2008, she won a seat in the Malda Zilla Parishad from Kaliachak - I.[9]

Personal life

She graduated from Gour Mahavidyalaya in 2000 and completed her post-graduation from University of North Bengal in 2002.[9]
