Court documents seen by the BBC show Hajjaj accused Siddiq of mediating and coordinating meetings for the Bangladeshi officials with the Russian government to build the £10bn Rooppur Power Plant Project. It is claimed that the deal inflated the price of the plant by £1bn, according to the documents - 30% of which was allegedly distributed to Siddiq and other family members via a complex network of banks and overseas companies. In total, Hajjaj alleges £3.9bn was siphoned out of the project by Hasina's family and minister. Footage from 2013 appears to show Siddiq attended the deal's signing by Hasina and Russian President Vladimir Putin at the Kremlin, recorded by the Associated Press.

The wearing of flowers by garment workers is profoundly misunderstood. It has come under criticism as a sign of ‘financial-illiteracy’ - of frivolous high spending amongst low-waged women who can’t manage their monthly expenses. Flowers have become a target and a way to blame garment workers for their poverty while sidelining the systemic inequities that characterise the garment industry. But the stories of women workers in Tamil Nadu challenge these misconceptions. They reveal both adeptness in managing extremely limited wages and the way that these flowers, often obtained at minimal or no cost, carry profound meaning. These are flowers worn as acts of self-care, offering a source of joy and resilience amidst the systemic injustices they face.
