Soon he emerged as a strong leftist leader and spoke person with huge reputation among the party people. He contested Assam Assembly election in 1972 but defeated.
In the year 1974, Nurul Huda became Lok Sobha MP from prestigious Silchar Lok Sobha seat defeating his rival congress candidate Mahitosh Purkyastha. He was also elected MLA from Hindu dominated Silchar Lok Sobha seat in the year 1978.
Nurul Huda earned his reputation as a relentless Marxist leader in the country. He contested consecutive Lok Sobha election from Silchar Parliamentary Constituency Seat in the year 1983, 1985, 1991, 1996, 1998, 2004.
He gathered overwhelming supports and appreciation all sections of the people cutting across caste, creed and religion. His bold and honest personality attracted everyone.
In the year 1984, he was defeated by former minister from congress Sontosh Mohan Dev by a very little margin. He also contested election with the former Minister from BJP Kabindra Purkyastha.
