Tulip Siddiq, British treasury minister, resigned yesterday after repeated questions about her financial links to the ousted Bangladeshi government run by her aunt Sheikh Hasina.
Chief Adviser Muhammad Yunus has called for an investigation into Tulip Siddiq and her family’s properties in the United Kingdom, suggesting that those might have been purchased through illicit wealth linked to her aunt, Sheikh Hasina, according to The Times.
A spokesperson for Tulip said, "This was declared transparently and in line with the rules."
