Sheikh Fazlul Haque Moni (4 December 1939 – 15 August 1975) was a Bangladeshi politician.
[2] Moni was born on 4 December 1939 at the village of Tungipara in Gopalganj district into a respected family of Sheikhs.
Moni's father was the grandson of Qudratullah Sheikh, the Zamindar of Faridpur Mahakumar.
[3] His contribution to spearhead the historic student movement against autocratic ruler Ayub Khan’s military regime produced an immense effect.
He initially supported the formation of a revolutionary council instead of an interim government which was against the wishes of Tajuddin Ahmed.
[citation needed] Moni took over ownership and the editorship of the daily newspaper Dainik Banglar Bani early in its existence.
When private trade with India was banned due to slow inflation, Mani actively engaged in it with Mujib's blessings.
He opposed Tajuddin Ahmad, who was then Prime Minister and main organiser of Mujibnagar Government, throughout the Liberation War.
BLF's role in Liberation War is also controversial, as they allegedly attacked different factions of guerrilla freedom fighters and looted their firearms.
