From 1952 to 1964, he served as a professor at Feni College. Upon returning from

Momenshahi Cadet College and was appointed principal of
Patiya Government College in 1966. He crossed over the international border to India on 26 March 1971 with Dr. Amir Hussain and Havildar Nooruddin at the start of the
Bangladesh Liberation War and sought help of
Border Security Force to establish a
Mukti Bahini unit composed of officers of the
East Pakistan Rifles. He made contact with Major PK Ghosh of the
Border Security Force. However, after staying in Indian refugee camps for two months, he returned to East Pakistan in June. During the war in September, he was appointed as the Minister of Health and Information in the
Malik ministry of East Pakistan. After the appointment as provincial minister, he identified himself as a
Pakistani nationalist and claimed that he had been forced to take refuge in India due to the circumstances following
Operation Searchlight in March and returned to East Pakistan as soon as the opportunity arose, evading the eyes of the
Indian Army and Border Security Force. He alleged that although most refugees wished to return to the province, they were prevented by Indian authorities. ==References==
