Dainik Pakistan was renamed Dainik Bangla after the independence of Bangladesh in 1971. [3] After independence, the newspaper published reports on Bengali collaborators of the Pakistan Army and war crimes. [4] The reports were used as evidence in the Bangladesh war crimes tribunal. [5] In 1972, Hasan Hafizur Rahman was elected president of the editorial board of the Dainik Bangla. [6] Toab Khan, press secretary to President Sheikh Mujibur Rahman, became editor of the newspaper in 1972. [7] [8]

In 1975, the government of Bangladesh closed all newspapers except The Daily Ittefaq , The Bangladesh Times , The Bangladesh Observer and the Dainik Bangla, which were nationalised. [9] After the assassination of Sheikh Mujibur Rahman in the 15 August 1975 Bangladesh coup d'état, the newspaper, then state-owned, stopped reporting about him and did not cover the anniversary of his death. [10] The newspaper was closed by the Bangladesh Awami League government in 1997 along with other state-owned media, The Bangladesh Times and Saptahik Bichitra . [11]

In 2022, Dainik Bangla was revived under Toab Khan, Chowdhury Jafarullah Sharafat, and financially backed by Chowdhury Nafiz Sarafat. [12]
