Hasanul Haq Inu is a left wing politician and the present minister of Information of Bangladesh. He leads a faction of the Jatiya Samajtantrik Dal and was involved in a Marxist insurgency in the 1970s.
Hasanul Haq Inu was born on 12 November 1946 at Bheramara Upazila, Kushtia District to A H M Qamrul Haq, an employee of Karnaphuli Paper Mills, and Begum Hasna Hena Haq. He graduated with a degree in chemical engineering from the Bangladesh University of Engineering and Technology (then East Pakistan University of Engineering and Technology) in 1970.
Hasanul Haq Inu joined Bangladesh Chhatra League in 1968, and became its general secretary in 1969.
After the independence of Bangladesh Bangladesh Chhatra League, the student wing of the Bangladesh Awami League split following ideological differences between Sheikh Mujibur Rahman's nephew Sheikh Fazlul Haque Mani, forming Jatiya Samajtantrik Dal, led by Serajul Alam Khan. Hasanul Haq Inu joined this faction.
The party called for establishing socialism through an armed revolution. It had an armed wing, Gonobahini, which led a violent insurgency against the government of Sheikh Mujibur Rahman. In 1974, Hasanul Haq Inu led a group of armed men to attack the residence of then home minister Mansur Ali, which resulted in the 1974 Ramna massacre. He also distributed anti-government leaflets.
