History
The Azadi was first published on 5 September 1960. The paper was pro-democracy and supported various autonomy movements in East Pakistan. It was blacklisted by the Pakistani Government for a year and banned from receiving government advertisement. It stopped publishing for three months during the Bangladesh Liberation War.{{Cite Banglapedia|last=Mamtaz|first=Ahmad|article=Azadi, The}}{{Cite web |last= |first= |title=৫৭ বছরে দৈনিক আজাদী |url=https://bangla.bdnews24.com/ctg/article1209297.bdnews |access-date=6 March 2022 |website=Bdnews24.com}}
