Sharmila Farooqi's Burberry bag creates chaos in Sindh Assembly

Sindh Assembly speaker Agha Siraj Durrani ordered staff to leave bag in bucket full of water

All eyes were on Provincial minister Sharmila Farooqi's Burberry handbag in Sindh Assembly on Monday -- for all the wrong reasons.

The bag, worth hundreds of dollars, caused panic as members of the assembly feared it a bomb in it given that it was left unattended.


As a result, Speaker Agha Siraj Durrani ordered staff to leave the bag in water for some time.



Although we are pretty certain there was not a bomb inside the bag, there would have been fireworks had Farooqi not returned in time to claim the designer bag.

Note to Sharmila: Not everybody looks at a Burberry tote the way  you do.
