He worked with the chief of staff of the Bangladesh Army, Moeen U Ahmed, to establish Rangpur University and a new political party called Jago Bangladesh.

In February 2009, Rumi was made the chairman of Bangladesh Institute of International and Strategic Studies a state operated think tank. The Government of Bangladesh sent him and Lieutenant General Aminul Karim, commandant of the National Defence College, to forced retirement in March 2009.
