In an interview with Turkish media, Sadiq Kayem, leader of Bangladesh's July uprising, accused India of treating Bangladesh like a colony for 16 years and backing the Hasina regime, including the August 5 massacre. He likened India's treatment of Muslims to that of Israel’s policies, rejecting Indian dominance. Kayem also called the Awami League a terrorist group and emphasized the movement's independence from foreign influence. He expressed hopes for a balanced foreign policy, especially with China.
"India has been treating Bangladesh like a colony for the past 16 years. Not only has it supported Hasina’s regime, but it also gave silent approval to the August 5 massacre. India is persecuting its own Muslim population — in that sense, it has become the Israel of South Asia. We no longer accept its dominance."
