Early Life and Education

His father, Muhammad Mansur Ali, was a very important person. He served as the third Prime Minister of Bangladesh in 1975. Sadly, his father passed away during a difficult time in the country's history.
Nasim went to Edward College in Pabna for his studies. He was a student leader there. At first, he was part of a student group called Chhatra Union.
In 1966, a famous leader named Sheikh Mujibur Rahman visited Pabna. He met Nasim and encouraged him to join Chhatra League. This was the student group of the Awami League. Nasim joined and later became a leader in the Edward College Students’ Union in 1967.
In 1969, Nasim moved to Dhaka and studied at Jagannath College. During the Bangladesh Liberation war, he helped the government that was working from outside Bangladesh. His father was also a minister in that government. Nasim earned a degree in political science from the college.
Political Journey
After Bangladesh became independent in 1971, Nasim became a leader in the Awami League in Pabna. He wanted to become a Member of Parliament in 1973 but did not get the chance that time.
He became a top leader in Bangladesh Jubo League, which is the youth part of the Awami League. When a new political system called BAKSAL was formed in 1975, he became its general secretary.
After a major event in 1975, Nasim went to India for a while. His father was arrested and later died while in prison. When Nasim returned to Bangladesh, he was also held for some time.
In 1982, Nasim became a top leader in the Awami League. He was first elected to the parliament in 1986. He represented the Sirajganj-1 area. He was elected again from the same area in 1996.
