The daily New Nation has completed 47 years overcoming various ups and downs, obstacles and adversaries. This is a great achievement.

I extend my heartfelt congratulations to the owner, editor, journalists and employees of the newspaper who have all had to cross a perilous path.

During the over more than four decades, they had to face the bloodshot eyes, temptations, torture-persecution and opposition of the fallen autocracy.

We know that the Barrister Mainul Hosein, the founder of this daily, was persecuted during the Awami fascist regime.

He fell into disgrace, and became a victim of vengeance and vindictiveness.

In that unbearable dark time, the path of normal practice and development of the mass media was blocked.

Unwanted incidents like shutting down the media, killing journalists, jail and oppression took place.

After a long struggle of more than a decade and a half, through the blood-soaked uprising of students and people, a democratic journey has begun in the country.

In this regard, the role of the media is very important. Proper flow of information, maintaining transparency, and restoring public trust are extremely urgent.

The task is not easy, but it is not impossible.

This daily has been contributing to the practice and development of the democratic culture of the country.

During the rule of autocracy, the entire print media was plagued by various crises.

With the valuable experience and tradition of circulation that this newspaper has earned over the decades, it will be possible to move forward in that light.

May the onward journey of The New Nation continue?.

Many, many congratulations and best wishes on the its 47 years.
