Daksu Vice President Sadiq Kayem alleged that a major political party and its leader were conducting politics in Bangladesh under India’s prescription. He made the remarks on Thursday afternoon at Shahbagh’s Shaheed Hadi Chattar while addressing a public gathering organized by the United Student Council in support of the ‘Yes’ vote in the upcoming referendum. Kayem said that true politics in Bangladesh requires opposing Indian dominance and accused Jatiya Party leader GM Quader of acting as an Indian agent for supporting the ‘No’ vote.

Other student leaders, including representatives from Jaksu, Joksu, and Chaksu, also spoke at the event, expressing support for the ‘Yes’ campaign and denouncing corruption, fascism, and political violence. They urged the interim government not to obstruct those campaigning for the ‘Yes’ vote and called for justice against those attacking women during political activities.

Speakers warned against election engineering and urged citizens to resist any attempt to seize power undemocratically, emphasizing that students and the public would support whichever party wins in a fair election.
