He was elected to parliament from Jamalpur-4.[2] He was the state minister for planning and finance,[3] and later served as the state minister of power in the second Khaleda cabinet. He resigned his post to protest corruption in the power sector.[4] The Bangladesh Nationalist Party government reported that he had not resigned but in fact had been sacked from his ministerial post by the government.[5] [6]

According to him, he resigned to protest the corruption in the power sector of Bangladesh under the Bangladesh Nationalist Party government.
