Tulip Siddiq has held a Bangladeshi passport and national identity card, documents seen by The Times appear to show, directly contradicting her previous claims.
Officials in Dhaka have uncovered records of a passport issued in London in September 2001 when Siddiq was 19 and a national identity card issued in January 2011 belonging to the Labour MP. Copies of the documents were shared with The Times and Prothom Alo, a prominent Bangladeshi newspaper.
Just to be fair:
When presented with copies of the documents, a spokesman for Siddiq claimed that they were “fabricated” and part of a “politically motivated smear campaign” by Bangladeshi authorities.
“This is a deliberate and desperate attempt to undermine her credibility and reputation,” he said.
Ho Hum.
