Azalina, who is also an Umno supreme council member, recently questioned why the current Attorney General was not government-friendly.
She had said in other parts of the world, a prime minister would appoint "his own person" to be the AG.
Azalina had also questioned why the Federal Court rejected former prime minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak's bid to postpone proceedings after changing his team of lawyers.
