Syed Ashraf leaving for UK on Friday

His personal secretary AKM Sajjad Alam Shahin confirmed the trip. Bangla Tribune reported that Syed Ashraf is leaving to visit his London-residing wife. A confidant to the minister said that Syed Ashraf’s wife has fallen ill, hence the sudden trip. The minister has already applied for a 15-day leave from Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina who told him to take some time off.
