She also played a remarkable role in the accommodation of Muhajirs in the new state of Pakistan.

Furthermore, in 1960 Fatima Jinnah came upfront in the politics when she ran for the presidency of Pakistan as a candidate for the Combined Opposition Party of Pakistan (COPP). Moreover, her speeches contained the argument based on coming to terms with India on the Indus Water dispute, Ayub had surrendered control of the rivers to India.
