Treasury Minister Tulip Siddiq Refers Herself for Investigation Amid Controversy
Treasury Minister Tulip Siddiq has referred herself to the Prime Minister’s standards adviser following controversy over her connections to a political movement linked to her aunt, former Bangladeshi Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina. This referral comes amid allegations of her family’s involvement in embezzling infrastructure funds in Bangladesh. Siddiq, who insists she has done nothing wrong, hopes an independent examination will clarify her financial matters and government conduct. She has canceled a planned trip to China to remain available for the inquiry.
