UK Minister Tulip Siddiq Faces Scrutiny Over Ties to Deposed Bangladeshi Leader

Labour MP and anti-corruption minister Tulip Siddiq is under investigation following revelations of her connections to her aunt Sheikh Hasina's controversial regime in Bangladesh.

Tulip Siddiq, the UK's economic secretary to the Treasury, is under investigation for alleged links to corruption tied to her aunt Sheikh Hasina, the ousted Bangladeshi prime minister.
Revelations include Siddiq's past involvement in Awami League campaigns and her use of properties linked to Hasina's associates, raising questions about conflicts of interest.
Labour Party flyers and personal documents linked to Siddiq were found in Hasina's former palace, now a site of public scrutiny following her removal from power last year.
Siddiq denies wrongdoing and has referred herself to the UK’s independent adviser on ministerial standards, but calls for her resignation are growing within and outside her party.
The investigation has sparked concerns about Labour leader Keir Starmer's decision to appoint Siddiq, given her known ties to Hasina's regime, and the potential impact on public trust in his leadership.
