An arrest warrant has been issued for Tulip Siddiq, the former City minister, in Bangladesh due to allegations that she illegally received a land plot from her aunt, former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina. Siddiq has denied these accusations, labeling them as part of a targeted campaign against her. Despite resigning from her position as economic secretary to prevent distractions within the government, an ethics adviser found no misconduct in her asset usage. However, concerns remain regarding record-keeping on her UK properties. The situation raises political tensions, especially within the Labour party under Keir Starmer's leadership.
