He was elected home minister because of his honesty, intelligence, hard work and dedication. He also worked as a food minister as well as home and public work minister for a certain period of time. He did not continue his career as a minister because he was a person beyond politics. As a defense officer he was very expert, active and honest. His personal life always reflected his abilities that he achieved from job career. His political life was very clean and the decisions that he took as a minister were absolutely neutral. For this reason he was also famous among the leaders of opposition parties.

He always leaded his family life like an ordinary Bangladeshi family. His family members are very generous that they got it from him.
