This British Bangladeshi career politician is facing the biggest disaster in her political career.
In the wake of the corruption allegations against she and her aunt Sheikh Hasina and linked to Russia, a new corruption allegation has surfaced against Tulip Siddiq on Friday. Controversy and corruption allegations do not seem to be leaving her behind. Tulip repeatedly makes negative headlines in British media.
In the current situation, the discussion has come to the fore again as to whether she will have to resign? Will British Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer support her again and stand by her side?
Since this is the weekend, we may have to wait until Monday to know the answer to that question, Daily Dazzling Dawn understand.It remains to be seen whether she can survive this time as a minister. Her supporters are hoping that her party will support her.
The Treasury Minister Tulip Siddiq was questioned by the Cabinet Office's ethics and propriety team last week after she and her family were charged by Bangladesh's anti-corruption agency with embezzling billions of dollars for a nuclear power plant. Refuting claims that she mediated an agreement with Russia to construct the energy plant, the Labour MP allegedly told a government official that she was the target of a "political hit job."
A businessman associated with a political organization founded by Tulip Siddiq's aunt, the former dictator of Bangladesh, allegedly gave her an apartment in downtown London. It is reported that in 2004, the city minister, who is in charge of combating financial sector wrongdoing in the UK, accepted the two-bedroom apartment close to King's Cross without paying for it. Abdul Motalif, a developer who is reportedly associated with the recently ousted Awami League party, which is led by Ms. Siddiq's aunt, Sheikh Hasina, donated the third-floor apartment to Ms. Siddiq, according to the Financial Times.
Many leaders of the UK Awami League campaigned on Tulip's behalf in the parliamentary elections. Through this, they got the opportunity to approach Sheikh Rehana and Sheikh Hasina's family. They directly influenced the Awami League and, in many ways, were close associates of Sheikh Rehana. Although some were not direct members of the Awami League, many of them in the Bangladeshi community introduced themselves as Tulip and Sheikh Rehana's close associates. They used to post those pictures with Tulip and Sheikh Rehana on social media. Although they took advantage, it is not yet known whether Tulip benefited. However, Tulip Siddiq is facing fresh controversy in the controversy surrounding Awami League Sheikh Hasina and Sheikh Rehana. This female politician has found herself in an embarrassing situation. Tulip, 41, is a professional politician. She is currently working as economic secretary to the Treasury of the United Kingdom. Siddiq is a Muslim but said she is "more cultural than religious." In 2013, she married Christian Percy. She lives in Barnet with her husband.Siddiq was elected MP for Hampstead and Highgate in 2015, the north London constituency neighboring Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer's seat of Holborn and St Pancras.
Jamal Ahmed Khan, a leader of the UK Awami League party and a family friend of Ms. Siddiq, told to Daily Dazzling Dawn"These allegations and stories are fabricated. 'They are attacking Tulip because she is the niece of our honorable prime minister, Sheikh Hasina.’
Ms. Siddiq has in the past praised her aunt as a ‘role model’ but has not publicly commented on her ousting in August.
