Laila Siddiqui

Laila Siddiqui is a Bangladesh Awami League politician and a former member of parliament for Tangail-4.

Career
Siddiqui was elected to parliament from Tangail-4 in 1988. She was one of the Bangladesh Awami League leaders who received 100 Bangladesh Nationalist Party men in the league in Tangail on 11 January 2007. She sued the government on 11 January 2014, after her husband Abdul Latif Siddiqui was arrested for criticizing Hajj and Tablighi Jamaat in New York City. She argued that cases against her husband were unconstitutional because, for offences committed outside Bangladesh, Bangladeshi law requires permission of the home minister before individuals can be charged.
