Tulip wants to hold meeting with Dr. Yunus 

Tulip Siddiq has asked  to meet Chief Adviser Prof. Muhammad Yunus to clear up a ‘misunderstanding’ after corruption allegations made by his administration led her to resign from the UK government,  reports The Guardian.

She is former UK city minister and niece of ousted Bangladesh Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina.

In a letter to the Chief Adviser, Tulip has asked for an opportunity to discuss the ongoing controversy during his visit to London next week.

The Chief Adviser will meet King Charles and see Keir Starmer in Downing Street.

The Guardian report says in her letter, Tulip wrote that she hopes a meeting might ‘help clear up the misunderstanding perpetuated by the anti-corruption committee in Dhaka that I have questions to answer in relation to my mother's sister, the former prime minister of Bangladesh, Sheikh Hasina.”

She continued “I am a UK citizen, born in London and representing the people of Hampstead and Highgate in parliament for the last decade”.

“I have no property nor any business interests whatsoever in Bangladesh. The country is dear to my heart but it is not the country where I was born, live in or have built my career in”.

“I have sought to clarify this to the ACC but they refuse to engage with my lawyers in London and apparently keep sending correspondence to a random address in Dhaka.
