Anwarul Kabir Talukdar (1 January 1944 – 10 May 2020) was a politician of the Bangladesh Nationalist Party and the Liberal Democratic Party. He was a Jatiya Sangsad member representing the Jamalpur-4 constituency and state minister of power.[1]
Talukdar served in the Bangladesh Army and retired as a major general. 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]
Talukdar resigned from the Bangladesh Nationalist Party on 26 October 2006. According to him, he resigned to protest the corruption in the power sector of Bangladesh under the Bangladesh Nationalist Party government. He joined the Liberal Democratic Party (LDP) formed that year by him, AQM Badruddoza Chowdhury and Oli Ahmed. He resigned from the LDP on 5 January 2009.[7]
