Activism


He was the coordinator of the liaison committee of Anti-Discrimination Student Movement.
He was appointed as a special assistant to the chief adviser of the interim government with the status of a secretary on 28 August.
On 25 September 2024, while speaking at the Clinton Global Initiative on the sidelines of the 79th session of the UN General Assembly, Muhammad Yunus, Chief Advisor to Bangladesh's interim government, referred to Mahfuz as "the mastermind" of the Student-People's uprising, which culminated in the fall of Sheikh Hasina's administration.




Controversies


Dipanjan Roy Chaudhury, an editor of the Indian newspaper The Economic Times, alleged that Alam is a former member of the islamist fundamentalist organisation, Hizb ut-Tahrir. Alam later addressed the issue on his verified Facebook page, stating that he has never been affiliated with the organization and has consistently opposed its ideology. He also characterized the report as a "smear campaign" by the Indian media.
