Dulu was the member of parliament (MP) for Natore-2 from 1996.[2][3] He had received 58,500 votes while his nearest rival, Ahad Ali Sarker of Awami League, had received 50,455 votes.[3] He served in the Parliamentary Standing Committee in the Communications Ministry.[4]

Dulu served as Deputy Minister for Land during the Bangladesh Nationalist Party government.[5]

The High Court declared BNP leaders Iqbal Hasan Mahmud Tuku and Ruhul Quddus Talukder Dulu to participate in the 11th parliamentary election, after the EC rejected the appeals and approved the return into the parliament. [6]

The Bangladesh High Court cleared the way for this BNP leader, Dulu, to contest in the 2018 election. It directed the Bangladesh Election Commission to accept his nominations and stayed the previous rejection order of the returning officers.[7] He is the organizing secretary of the Bangladesh Nationalist Party.[8] He was arrested on 18 December.[9] Joint Secretary General of Bangladesh Nationalist Party, Ruhul Kabir Rizvi, condemned his arrest and accused the government of interfering with the Bangladesh Nationalist Party participation in the general election on 30 December 2018.[10] His bail application was rejected on 12 February 2019.[9]

Dulu received bail on a sabotage case on 2 September 2019.[11]
