In November 2024, Rupa Huq participated in a meeting at the British Parliament hosted by Lord Carlyle, where Dr. Shafiqur Rahman, Chief of Bangladesh Jamaat-e-Islami, was the keynote speaker. This raises serious questions about her credibility. You cannot sit in a meeting with the leader of an extremist group linked to many issues in Bangladesh and then claim to ‘investigate’ those very problems. Her stance on the situation in Bangladesh is, therefore, irrelevant and compromised.
