British govt will handle ‘targeted attack’ on Tulip’s car: PM
Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina said the British government will handle the matter of a "targeted attack" on the car of British MP and the premier's niece Tulip Siddiq.
"As the incident took place in England, the British government will take care of the matter," said the prime minister in response to a question on whether the government would take any action against the attack.
She said anti-liberation groups abroad are active to plot against the country. They even tried to tarnish her image by chanting slogans against her during her visit to New York on the occasion of the 76th session of the United Nations General Assembly.
