Early life and education
Shameem was born in 10 November 1965 to Bengali Muslim parents, Abul Hashem Miah and Begum Ashrafunnesa, in the village of Malatkandi in Bhedarganj, Faridpur district, East Pakistan (now Shariatpur District, Bangladesh). He completed his education at the A. M. High School in Noakhali and Dhaka Residential Model College. He graduated from Jahangirnagar University.[2]
Career
Shameem was voted VP of JUCSU (Jahangirnagar University Central Student Union) from 1989 to 1991.[3] He led the Bangladesh Chhatra League (student league) as the President from 1994 to 1998.[3]
Shameem was targeted by gunmen in Dhaka in June 2014.[4] He suffered a gunshot wound in the incident.[3] He was the member of the Awami League central committee.[3]
Shameem was elected to Parliament on 30 December 2018 from Shariatpur-2 as an Awami League candidate.[5] He contested against the Bangladesh Nationalist Party candidate Shafiqur Rahman Kiran.

Shameem is a member of the Trustee board of Stamford University.[4][8] He is the founder and president of Port City International University.[9]
The Election Commission issued a show-cause notice against Shameem for holding a rally violating the electoral code of conduct, following a complaint by Khaled Shawkat Ali, an independent candidate, in December 2023.[10][11] Both of their supporters fought, leading the police to file a case against 250 people.[12] The electoral camps of both candidates were burned down ahead of the January 2024 election, with each blaming the other.[13] He was not included in the 2024 cabinet formed by Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina.[14]
In December 2025, the Anti-Corruption Commission filed a case against him, the owners of Bashundhara Group and Sikder Group, accusing them of embezzling 6 billion BDT from National Bank PLC.[15][16]
