Labour MP Tulip Siddiq Faces Arrest Warrant in Bangladesh Over Land Allocation Scandal

 

Tulip Siddiq, a British Labour MP and former City minister, is now the subject of an arrest warrant issued in Bangladesh, where authorities allege she unlawfully acquired a plot of land through misuse of political influence. The case, led by the country’s Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC), claims Siddiq obtained a 7,200-square-foot plot in the diplomatic zone of Dhaka, the capital city, as a result of what the ACC described as “abuse of power and influence.”

 

 

A spokesperson for the ACC confirmed to The Telegraph that the warrant is linked to property Siddiq is said to have received within the Purbachal New Town Project. The plot allocation is reportedly connected to Siddiq’s familial relationship with Sheikh Hasina, the former Prime Minister of Bangladesh, who was recently ousted and is herself at the centre of a series of corruption investigations.

 

This latest development is separate from an ongoing £4 billion embezzlement probe into a nuclear deal signed during Sheikh Hasina’s administration. Siddiq has also been named in that case, as well as two other investigations launched by Bangladeshi authorities. While no formal charges have yet been brought against her in the UK, the investigations have drawn international attention due to the potential political implications and her close ties to the former Bangladeshi leader.

 

 

Tulip Siddiq, who resigned from her ministerial post in the UK government in January, has strongly denied all allegations. She dismissed the claims as part of a politically motivated effort aimed at discrediting her, stating that the campaign against her is “targeted and baseless.” Siddiq also expressed frustration at the way the information has been handled by Bangladeshi authorities, asking why she learned of the accusations through the media rather than directly from the officials involved.

 

In a formal letter sent last month, Siddiq criticised the Anti-Corruption Commission’s actions, calling them “an unacceptable attempt to interfere with UK politics.” She raised concerns that the charges were not just unfounded but also politically charged, especially given the timing of the media briefings and lack of direct engagement by Bangladeshi officials.

 

The legal actions in Bangladesh extend beyond Siddiq herself. On March 10, the ACC petitioned the courts for a travel ban to be placed not only on Sheikh Hasina and Tulip Siddiq but also on other family members. This was followed by an April 10 court decision that issued arrest warrants for Sheikh Hasina, her daughter Saima Wazed, and 16 other individuals, in connection with another corruption investigation involving land plot allocations.

 

As there is currently no extradition treaty between the UK and Bangladesh, the practical consequences of the arrest warrant for Siddiq remain uncertain. The British government has not made any public comment on the matter. The Telegraph has contacted Siddiq for a response to the latest developments.

The new Bond movie is to be set in Bangkok; the title is "Enough is Never Enough"... just saying, init?

She is far too short to be believable and far too close to Sir multi tier Keir not to be bang at it export her to bangla as requested 🤔

Another corrupt Labour MP.

 

At least she wasn't kiddie fiddling or beating up constituents.

 

It does highlight how corrupt immigrants are infiltrating our political systems though.

Another example of your eagerness to leap to libel.

 

Allegations are not convictions Jonny.

I have no idea.

 

Which is why I don’t say she is or isn’t’.

 

I certainly refrain from wedging in off topic ‘kiddy fiddling’, ‘assault of constituents’ or generalized pejorative views of immigrants.

 

Some just can’t control their need to engage in such triggered responses.

Do you think she is guilty in the land scandal ?asking you to share a personal opinion rather than resort to wait and see ...authorities.. innocent until...etc etc.

 

Care to share your own personal view.

 

Personally I would say the odds are she is guilty. It's a common story from various countries all over the world. Humans of all kinds. All greedy for more money. 

 

Where there's smoke.

Can you explain to me what part the UK Home Office plays in prosecuting allegations made in Bangladesh?

Quote

It is pertinent to note that the coup in Bangladesh is being widely speculated to be a regime change operation by the US deep state. The protests in Bangladesh, violence and departure of Sheikh Hasina from the country have raised questions if there was a US deep state behind the coup. It has to be noted that despite the quota, against which the protests were happening, which was abolished by the Supreme Court of Bangladesh, the protests never faded away. They only intensified leading Hasina to order the use of force against the protesters and several hundred protesters were killed in the process. After the departure of Hasina and the Army took over the country, the violence intensified and Hindus became prime targets of the violent Islamist mobs across Bangladesh.

 

Terrible source though. Allegedly the US wants a Bangladeshi island to build a base.

 

If it was a Biden op, doesn't that make MAGA supporters and their foreign fellow travellers, who opposed everything what Biden and the Deep State did or may have done, become natural allies of an embattled Labour MP.
