Tulip Siddiq, a politician for the UK's opposition Labour party, has said she lost a relative in Sri Lanka's deadly Easter bombings that took place on Sunday.
Siddiq, one of the UK's few ethnic minority politicians, wrote on Twitter late on Sunday:"I lost a relative today in the Sri Lanka attacks. It's all so devastating. Hope everyone is keeping safe. Solidarity with the people of Sri Lanka."
Siddiq herself is of Bangladeshi extraction, and represents the London constituency of Hampstead and Kilburn. Her aunt, Sheikh Hasina, is the prime minister of Bangladesh.
