Azaghadi has attacked the climate of the Qom Seminary since the election of Hassan Rouhani, arguing that it has lost its revolutionary pride and become too liberal, leading to greater secularization of Iranian society. Azghadi expressed his disdain for Reformist Present Mohammed Khatami, stating that he cursed the then President from "night until morning" for referring to Abraham Lincoln as a martyr and complimenting American culture. This behavior greatly contrasts to Azghadi's continued praise for Conservative President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, whom he has credited for leading the most popular government in Iranian history.
