Criticism

Azizul Hakim took a stand for the government during the repression of the dictatorship Awami League government on the students in the quota reform movement that took place in 2024. [10] During the movement, a group of pro-autocracy Awami artists, including Azizul Hakim, were active against the movement in a WhatsApp group called 'Alo Ashbei' [11] led by actor Ferdous. After the non-cooperation movement, on September 3, 2024, some screenshots related to that WhatsApp group were spread on social media. [12] [13]

In April 2025, a murder case was filed against Hakim and 16 other actors over the death of a protester in Vatara during the Anti-Discrimination Student Movement against the Awami League government led by Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina. [14]
