Since its inception as ''The Pakistan Observer'' in 1949, the newspaper consistently followed an independent editorial policy. Mohammad Shehabullah was its first editor who was succeeded by [[Abdus Salam (Editor)|Abdus Salam]]. The East Pakistan provincial government imposed an embargo on the newspaper's publication under the repressive Public Safety Act in February 1952 in response to the newspaper's strong support for the East Pakistan language movement and demands for provincial autonomy. [[Hamidul Huq Choudhury]] and Abdus Salam were also arrested at this time by the Pakistan Government to stifle the voice of the press. The United Front government withdrew the embargo on its publication in May 1954. At that time Abdul Ghani Hazari took charge as managing editor of the paper. In the early 1960s, the paper was black-listed and deprived of government advertising because of its strident calls for autonomy for East Pakistan. |
