Previously he was member of the National Assembly from June 2013 to May 2018 and a member of the Provincial Assembly of Sindh from 2002 to 2007.
Education & Background [ edit ]
Vankwani possesses Bachelor's Degree of Medicine and Bachelor's Degree of Surgery.[1] He was born in Islamkot , Tharparkar in 1974, into a Sindhi Hindu family.
Political career [ edit ]
Vankwani ran for the seat of the Provincial Assembly of Sindh as an independent candidate from Constituency PS-61 (Tharparkar-II) in the 2002 Pakistani general election , but was unsuccessful. He received 34 votes and lost the seat to a candidate of National Alliance .[2] In the same election, he was elected to the Provincial Assembly of Sindh as a candidate of Pakistan Muslim League (Q ) on a reserved seat for minorities.[1] He founded Pakistan Hindu Council [3] in 2005.[4]
Vankwani was elected to the National Assembly of Pakistan as a candidate of Pakistan Muslim League (N ) (PML-N) on a reserved seat for minorities in the 2013 Pakistani general election .[5] [6]
Vankwani came to the limelight in September 2014,[7] when he along with Rehman Malik was removed from a flight from Karachi to Islamabad because of their late check-in which caused the flight to delay.[8] [9]
Vankwani January 2018, he was elected as the chairman of the National Assembly's Standing Committee for Statistics.[10] In April 2018, he quit PML-N and joined Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI).[11]
He was re-elected to the National Assembly as a candidate of PTI on a reserved seat for minorities in 2018 Pakistani general election .[12] He stood against his party policy in no confidence motion.
On 13 May 2024, the Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) suspended his membership as a member of the National Assembly.[13] 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.[14]
