MP Tulip Siddiq attacks 'smear campaign' after arrest warrant
"Tulip Siddiq stated that the Bangladeshi authorities' actions against her are part of a "politically motivated smear campaign," emphasizing the lack of fair legal processes involved."
"Siddiq accused the Anti-Corruption Commission of carrying out a "trial by media" in their investigation, indicating that the allegations lack proper legal basis and justification."
Labour MP Tulip Siddiq has condemned an arrest warrant issued against her by Bangladeshi authorities, asserting it is a part of a "politically motivated smear campaign." The Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC) is investigating allegations of corruption involving Siddiq, linking her to illegal land grants in a larger probe into her aunt Sheikh Hasina's government. Siddiq, who resigned as the economic secretary to the Treasury in January, denounced the authorities' actions as a "trial by media," suggesting a lack of proper legal procedure in the case.
