Dhaka officials have uncovered documents showing ex-corruption minister Tulip Siddiq has held a Bangladeshi passport and national identity card, contradicting earlier denials made by her lawyers. According to the Times, records show a passport was issued in London in September 2001, when Siddiq was 19, and a national identity card was in January 2011. She also applied to renew the passport in January 2011 at a passport office in Dhaka. Her permanent address was listed as a house in Dhaka owned by her aunt, Sheikh Hasina.
Her legal team insist the documents are “fabricated“:
“This is a deliberate and desperate attempt to undermine her credibility and reputation…”
Tulip herself also previously denied she was Bangladeshi in 2017, telling reporters:
“Are you calling me Bangladeshi? Because I am British, be very careful what you’re saying because I’m a British MP … I am not Bangladeshi.”
Siddiq is currently on trial in absentia in Bangladesh over accusations of influencing her aunty Hasina to secure plots of land for her family. She denies those claims too. And maintains she is “collateral damage” in a political dispute between Hasina and Bangladesh’s interim leader Muhammad Yunus…
