Criticism

Deepanwita Martin 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.[2] During the movement, a group of pro-autocracy Awami artists, including Deepanwita Martin, were active against the movement in a WhatsApp group called 'Alo Ashbei'[3] 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.[4][5] Due to the violence post the 2024 events, she relocated to Nepal.[6]
