Daily Azadi (Bengali: দৈনিক আজাদী) is a Bangladeshi newspaper published in Bangladesh.

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.

Abdul Khaleq was the founding editor and publisher of Azadi. At first, the price of the magazine was two annas (12 paise). After Khaleq's death, his son-in-law Md. Mohammad Khaled took over as editor in 1962. MA Malek has been in charge of the newspaper since 2003 after his death.
