British Minister Under Fire: Yunus Calls for Probe into Tulip Siddiq's Assets

Muhammad Yunus has called for an investigation into British minister Tulip Siddiq's assets, alleging they were acquired unlawfully during her aunt's tenure as Bangladesh's premier. Yunus highlights 'plain robbery' and corruption issues involving Siddiq, demanding asset return if wrongdoing is confirmed.

Chief Adviser Muhammad Yunus has urged a probe into the properties of British minister Tulip Siddiq, suggesting they were unlawfully acquired during Sheikh Hasina's leadership in Bangladesh.

In an interview with The Times, Yunus criticized the use of properties bestowed upon Siddiq by supporters of the deposed regime, calling for the return of these assets to Bangladesh if confirmed as products of corruption.

The controversy surrounding Siddiq, a UK cabinet member addressing financial market corruption, has intensified following revelations about her occupancy of a Hampstead property linked to offshore dealings, adding pressure for her resignation.
