The speakers at the rally said, "Since independence, India has been trying to spread its hegemony in Bangladesh. During the rule of the dictator Sheikh Hasina, India's hegemony was deep-rooted. But on August 5, the student-led mass uprising uprooted Indian hegemony."

Citing recent recent violence and border killings, they said, "These incidents have been caused by a joint conspiracy between Awami League and India.
