Former minister Tulip Siddiq has written to the interim leader of Bangladesh requesting a meeting during his visit to the UK to discuss accusations of corruption that have been levelled at her.
In the letter seen by Sky News, Siddiq invited Muhammad Yunus for "lunch or afternoon tea" to "clear up the misunderstanding鈥� that I have questions to answer".
Watch: The Tulip Siddiq accusations explained
The Anti-Corruption Commission in Bangladesh has opened multiple inquiries involving the London MP over alleged links to her aunt's political party in the country.
A former prime minister of Bangladesh, Sheikh Hasina is currently standing trial in absentia in Dhaka over alleged killings during deadly protests that swept the country last summer.
Siddiq resigned as a Treasury minister in January after being named in the corruption inquiries.
Documents showed she lived in several London properties that had links back to the Awami League political party that her aunt still leads.
She referred herself to the prime minister's standards adviser Sir Laurie Magnus, who said he had "not identified evidence of improprieties", but added it was "regrettable" Siddiq had not been more alert to the "potential reputational risks" of the ties to her aunt.
Siddiq said continuing in her role would be "a distraction" for the government but insisted she had done nothing wrong.
'Fantasy investigation'
In her letter to the chief adviser of Bangladesh, Siddiq writes: "[The Anti-Corruption Commission] refuse to engage with my lawyers in London and apparently keep sending correspondence to a random address in Dhaka.
"Every move in this fantasy investigation is briefed to the media and yet no engagement was facilitated with my legal team."
Muhammad Yunus left Bangladesh for his UK visit on Monday afternoon.
Bangladeshi media reported his spokesperson as saying they had not received the letter.
A source close to Siddiq said she had not received a reply.
