Early life[edit]

Career[edit]

Siddique joined the University of Dhaka in 1974 and subsequently completed a second master's in finance from Southampton University.[7] He was promoted to assistant professor in 1986 and completed his Phd from Brunel University. From 1988 to 1992, he taught at the Brunel University as an assistant professor.[7] He was promoted to associate professor in 1993.[7]

In 2004, Siddique filed a defamation suit against Motiur Rahman Rentu over his book, Amar Fashi Chai. In April 2007, a Dhaka court issued a verdict in favor of Siddique and awarded him 10 million taka in damages. After failing to get the compensation, Siddique filed a case seeking the confiscation of Rentu's properties on 10 August 2007.[8]

Personal life[edit]

Siddique married Sheikh Rehana in 1977 in London,[10] sister of Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina.[11][12] Sheikh Hasina, who was at the time exiled in New Delhi, could not attend the wedding due to lack of travel fund.[10] The couple had a son, Radwan Mujib Siddiq, who was born on 21 May 1980[13] and two daughters, Tulip Rizwana Siddiq, member of British parliament, and Azmina Siddiq, consultant at Control Risks in London.[14][15][16]

On 18 February 2016, Siddique described a string of 35 cases against Mafuz Anam, editor of The Daily Star, as "too much" while on BanglaVision.[11][17][18]
