The Morning News started as a weekly English language newspaper in Kolkata. It was owned by Khwaja Nuruddin who was a relative of the Nawab of Dhaka, and Sir Khawaja Nazimuddin. It moved to Dhaka on 20 March 1949 following the Partition of India. On 25 December 1949, it started publishing as a daily newspaper. The editor of the newspaper was Badruddin.[3] In 1960's, The National Press Trust, which was a government-owned organization, took over and operated directly a number of the more prominent newspapers. Among these were two of the three principal English-language newspapers, the Pakistan Times, which has the largest circulation, and the Morning News. On 24 January 1971, the offices of The Morning News and the other pro-Pakistan military junta newspaper, Dainik Pakistan, were burned down by protestors.[4] On 2 March 1971, Pakistani soldiers shot at protesters outside the newspaper office at DIT intersection around 9:30 pm.[5] After the Independence of Bangladesh in 1971 Shamsul Huda became the editor. The newspaper was banned in 1975 by the BAKSAL government.[3]
