London, Apr 22 (IBNS): British MP Tulip Siddiq on Monday said she has lost a relative in the series of blasts which rocked Sri Lanka 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," Tulip tweeted.

She did not reveal the identity of the relative.

Tulip Siddiq is the niece of Bangladesh Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina.

The death toll in the blasts which hit Sri Lanka has touched 290.

The targets of the blasts were also three churches where people had assembled on a day when the country was observing Easter Sunday.

World leaders, including US President Donald Trump, have condemned the incidents.
