Sheikh Hasina has family members who reside in London, including her niece Tulip Siddiq, a Labour MP
Former Bangladesh prime minister Sheikh Hasina seen at London Heathrow airport in 2007, with her niece, now-Labour MP Tulip Siddiq , is widely believed to be on her way to the UK to seek asylum in London, where some of her family live.history, was whisked away from the capital, Dhaka, by military helicopter on Monday, as thousands of people defied a military curfew and descended on the streets demanding her resignation.
Ms Hasina spent years in exile in India after most of her family were massacred by a military coup in 1975, including her father, Sheikh Mujibur Rahman, Bangladesh’s founding leader. Ms Hasina and her sister, Sheikh Rehana – who fled Bangladesh alongside her on Monday – survived the purge because they were visiting Europe at the time.

“We have seen the reports that the army resisted calls to crack down on the protesters, and if those reports are true, certainly, that is something that we would encourage,” he added. Dhaka’s streets appeared calmer on Tuesday, with reports of people posing for pictures with soldiers guarding Ms Hasina’s residence, which was ransacked a day earlier by angry protesters who stole furniture, paintings, flower pots and chickens, Associated Press reported.
