Farhana is the central international affairs secretary of the Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP). As a barrister, she worked in the legal profession of the High Court of Bangladesh. In the Eleventh Jatiya Sangsad election, she represented the BNP as the only female member of parliament of BNP. Due to widespread irregularities in the 2018 Bangladeshi elections, Rumeen was one of only seven members of parliament from BNP, which was the main opposition party of Bangladesh until 2014, and one of two major political parties in the democratic era of Bangladesh from 1991 to 2014,  until persecution of opposition leaders and incarceration of the former Prime Minister Begum Khaleda Zia  seriously debilitated the party.

In 2019, Farhana sought allotment of a 10 katha plot in Dhaka's Purbachal from the government. Any member of the parliament can apply for such an allotment, however her application was leaked from the ministry, which Rumeen speculated was deliberately done by the ministry because of her position as a member of the opposition party.
