Tulip Siddiq fears plans to use ‘fake’ documents to secure conviction in corruption trial | Politics
Former City Minister Tulip Siddiq said he was afraid that prosecutors could plan to use “fake” documents to secure their conviction of corruption charges at his hearing in Bangladesh.
The Labor Party MP, who was tried in absenteeism, spoke after the images of a national identity card from Bangladesh and was published in newspapers in England and Bangladesh.
Siddiq said that the documents in Times and the leading Bangladesh newspaper Prothom Alo is fake. He said: “For a year, I fought fake news about all my crimes. No evidence was produced. So now fake documents. And I think the next step is fake evidence.”
Siddiq and his aunt, mother, brother and sister, including 20 people, since the beginning of August, the capital of Bangladesh has been tried in Dakka. Last year, he is accused of securing a land in a Dakka suburb for family members, Aunt Sheikh Hasina, who was dismissed as Prime Minister of Bangladesh last year.
He rejects the allegations he said politically motivated.
Keir Starmer’s independent advisor in the Ministry Code cleaned him in January after a series of claims from Bangladesh, but added that he was “sad because he did not comply with the risks of potential reputation” caused by his familial ties and treasury role.
Claiming that allegations from Bangladesh proved to be a distraction of attention for the government, he resigned from his roles from economic secretary and city minister.
The identity documents published last week were told to contradict the allegations that Siddiq had never had no national identity cards before and that a Bangladesh passport ended two and a half years ago.
Siddiq said that he made these statements, and that his concern now could be the beginning of the alleged fake documents more than Dakka and that he never refused to be a citizen of Bangladesh and a British citizen, and informs the Treasury about being a minister.
Guardian saw that the statement made to the Treasury proved that this was the case.
Born in London, Siddiq has a citizenship of Bangladesh because of the fact that both parents were born there. He also said that he was a Bangladesh passport when he was a child, but he ended at the age of 18 and was not renewed.
He did not understand why fake documents were produced, but he filling him with worry about what will happen, “Something they can do, they produce these things to see how well they descend, because they will produce evidence then to see how much the British press can be swallowed.”
He showed that the records were given a passport for Siddiq at the age of 19 at the age of 19, and a national identity card published in January 2011.
In addition, it was claimed that he applied to renew his passport at the agargaon passport office in Dakka in January 2011 and had a voter registration number.
Siddiq said that none of the allegations were true.
In 2017, a publication interview was stated as evidence that Hampstead and Highting Deputy Siddiq are not honest about their citizenship.
Channel 4 was asked whether Ahmed bin Quasem, a lawyer from Bangladesh allegedly kidnapped in Bangladesh, would intervene in the case.
He replied: in You know that I am a British deputy?
“Do you call me Bangladesh? Because I’m British, be careful what you say because a British deputy from Hampstead and Kilburn.”
Siddiq said the conversation was removed from the context by those who want to trade him. He said: “Basically, I said: ‘I’m sorry, I’m not Bangladesh. There is nothing about citizenship.
Sıddıq added that the legal representation was prevented at the hearing in Dakka and that the authorities were still not in contact with him.
Anti -Corruption Commission Siddiq, Siddiq’s Bangladesh Passport, claimed that a call was sent to an address listed in the national identity card and voter roll.
Siddiq said he never lived at the address that he said about what he described as “fake documents ..
Anti -Corruption Commission and Times were contacted for comment.
