Khan was elected unopposed to the Provincial Assembly of the Punjab in a 1993 by-election but was unable formally to swear the oath and take his seat as a member before the dissolution of the Assembly in June 1993. He was then re-elected to the Assembly and subsequently also re-elected at the next elections, in 1997. Between 1997 and 1999 he served as a Provincial Minister and held the portfolios of Livestock and Dairy Development, Forest, Wildlife, Fisheries and Tourism.

Famous quotes containing the words elected, member, provincial and/or assembly:
“The men the American people admire most extravagantly are the most daring liars; the men they detest most violently are those who try to tell them the truth. A Galileo could no more be elected President of the United States than he could be elected Pope of Rome. Both posts are reserved for men favored by God with an extraordinary genius for swathing the bitter facts of life in bandages of soft illusion.”
—H.L. (Henry Lewis)
“For love ... has two faces; one white, the other black; two bodies; one smooth, the other hairy. It has two hands, two feet, two tails, two, indeed, of every member and each one is the exact opposite of the other. Yet, so strictly are they joined together that you cannot separate them.”
—Virginia Woolf (1882–1941)
“The divinity in man is the true vestal fire of the temple which is never permitted to go out, but burns as steadily and with as pure a flame on the obscure provincial altar as in Numa’s temple at Rome.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“There is a sacred horror about everything grand. It is easy to admire mediocrity and hills; but whatever is too lofty, a genius as well as a mountain, an assembly as well as a masterpiece, seen too near, is appalling.”
—Victor Hugo (1802–1885)
